Despite 2020 causing the cancellation of the first-ever planned European Processor Initiative Forum, the partners have made significant progress and have updated their project plan for EPI milestones
The current technologies used for HPC systems will not be able to sustain the performance increase requested by the HPC/HPDA/AI 1 application communities. Since the end of the Dennard scaling and with the approaching end of the Moore’s law, the standard CMOS 2 technology has to be complemented by other approaches if we want to continue to deliver more performance. The three main HPC ecosystems beside Europe, namely US, China and Japan have undertaken significant research initiatives to work on these new approaches.
The objective of this white paper is to present the results or the on-going work of the first HPC technology projects initiated within the Horizon 2020 programme, namely within calls FET-HPC-2014, 2016 and 2017.
