The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking is a joint initiative between the EU, European countries and private partners to develop a world-class supercomputing ecosystem in Europe.
The JU’s main activities aims to:
- Develop a pan-European supercomputing infrastructure: acquiring and deploying in the EU three pre-exascale supercomputers, capable of at least 10 — one hundred million billion, calculations per second. These computers should be among the top 5 in the world. It has acquired five petascale supercomputers, capable of at least 10 — one million billion calculations per second, which are already fully operational. These computers should rank in the global top 50. These new machines will benefit European private and public users working in academia and industry across Europe.
- Support research and innovation activities: developing a European supercomputing ecosystem, stimulating a technology supply industry from low-power processors to software and middleware, and their integration into supercomputing systems. Additionally, the Euro HPC JU is supporting HPC Centres of Excellence, which will promote the use of exascale computing capabilities for scientific applications. HPC Competence Centres in each of EuroHPC JU Participating States have been established to specifically enhance the provisions of HPC services to industry (including to SMEs), academia and public administrations, delivering tailored solutions to a wide variety of users that will foster wider uptake of HPC in Europe. These are all key elements of the EU’s broader digital strategy.
