Upcoming: Call for Centres of Excellence in HPC

Published in 13 January 2022. The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC) is preparing the transition towards exascale with a new call on Centres of Excellence for HPC. The call will support research and innovation actions that will develop and adapt HPC applications for the exascale and post-exascale era. Exascale supercomputers are capable of more than a billion billion operations per second.

 

The call Centres of Excellence for HPC Applications (HORIZON-EUROHPC-JU-2021-COE-01) aims to develop and scale up existing computing codes towards ecascale performance. Adapting existing applications to exascale computing capability requires significant changes and in some cases current application codes cannot run on exascale or post-exascale systems without a complete rethink or substantial code rewrite. The call will support this transition in collaboration with HPC users and relevant stakeholders to bring tangible benefits to European researchers and industries and address current scientific, industrial and societal challenges.

The proposals will need to be relevant both to current HPC users and for future HPC systems yet to be acquired by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking. Proposed applications will have to commit to co-design activities with regards to hardware, software and codes as this will be key in ensuring that future HPC architectures are well suited for the applications and their users. Coordination with the Competence Centres will be required in order to address the current HPC skill gap, develop available HPC competences and ensure wider access to exascale applications.

More details

The call will be open for submissions from 27 January 2022 until 6 April 2022, 17:00 (CET),

The call is funded by Horizon Europe, the EU funding programme for research and innovaiton with a total budget of up to EUR 90 million including up to EUR 45 million of EU contribution to be matched by equivalent national contributions. Applications are invited for two topics:

The selected projects are expected to start by 1 January 2023 for a period of four years.

More details and all relevant documents concerning the call are available on the EU Funding & tender opportunities portal and in the EuroHPC JU Annual Work Plan 2022.

Final PHIDIAS Impact Webinar: The path toward new services to increase HPC and Data capacities

The PHIDIAS’s final impact webinar took place last 12 July which aimed at presenting the tangible outputs achieved by the PHIDIAS HPC initiative at the service of the European HPC and Research community, including main features, concrete impact, and prospective advantages for Research & HPC ecosphere. Here are the brief key takeaways from the event: • A simple web access to a world-class supercomputer, yet with a kind of magic • From 5% of data analysis to 45% for scientists (data access and computing) on the road to 80% • Two portals to find and access the available data • Already available results for Earth Science Systems (detection of extreme events, pollution, nutrients or ocean oxygen measures, etc.) • Security by design is key in creating such an infrastructure (Security Committee) • PHIDIAS is also a prototype to evaluate costs • Metadata is a key point.
