ABSTRACT
High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems are of vital importance to the progress of science and technology. Europe has made significant progress in becoming a leader in HPC through industrial and application providers. In addition, ETP4HPC is driving a European HPC vision towards exascale systems. Despite such gains, excellence in HPC systems research is fragmented across Europe. Eurolab4HPC has the bold overall goal to strengthen academic research excellence and innovation in HPC in Europe.
This talk will highlight the key instruments used to structure the European HPC community; to promote entrepreneurship by building an innovation pipeline from general purpose entrepreneurial training, business prototyping, business plan development and helping with funding and to stimulate technology transfer by connecting with other technology transfer activities and providing competitive seed funding for HPC technology transfer. With EuroLab4HPC the objective is to raise the visibility of the European HPC community, attract more participants and eventually grow the interest and impact of Europe's Exascale research.
