Since 2009, HiPEAC has been publishing its ‘Vision’ on the future of computing systems. Drawing on the expertise of HiPEAC’s 2,000-strong European network of experts, this document acts as a strategic roadmap for the European computing community. It sets out the main technology trends and challenges in computing and explores what these will mean for research, business, and society in general.
The latest edition of the HiPEAC Vision was published in January 2023. The main message conveys a sense of urgency: technology is evolving faster than humans can adapt, in a context of intensifying geopolitical and environmental pressures. This is expressed in the form of six races for technology leadership: the ‘next web’, artificial intelligence (AI), new kinds of hardware, cybersecurity, sovereignty and sustainability.
