HiPEAC

Preparing Applications and European Users to Efficiently Exploit Future ARM-based Exascale Machines

The EUPEX project brings together academic and commercial stakeholders to co-design a European modular Exascale-ready pilot system. Together, they will deploy a pilot hardware and software platform integrating the full spectrum of European technologies and will demonstrate the readiness and scalability of these technologies, and particularly of the Modular Supercomputing Architecture (MSA), towards Exascale.

This workshop aims to offer an in-depth view of EUPEX’s work. It is structured so that more overarching themes are introduced at the beginning, like the introduction to the work of EUPEX, main work packages related to applications, co-design and the software ecosystem. A broarder discussion around energy efficiency is also envisaged. The first part will also address the importance of adopting ARM-based plat-forms for scientific applications for the future of high-performance computing and extending the impact of such actions through collaboration with European Centers of Excellence (CoEs).

EUPEX workshop also aims to demonstrate applications and tools in the project, of several use cases from the EUPEX portfolio for challenges and effects of porting process to Arm. Attendees will be able to learn about combining techniques to optimise MPI collectives implementation for multi-core nodes (xhc) and about exploring flash for intermediate data management for HPC workloads, as well as see specific presentations on energy consumption by demonstrating the EUPEX tool stack and tools for improving energy efficiency with use cases.

We believe these topics and examples could be of great interest to the HiPEAC audience and especially to the integration of the work of different communities working in HPC to edge computing.

This project has received funding from the European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (JU) under grant agreement No 101033975. The JU receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and France, Germany, Italy, Greece, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Croatia.
