High Performance Computing in Europe: overview and evolutions
Jean-Philippe NOMINE, Direction des Analyses Stratégiques, CEA

HPC has been considered as a priority since the beginning of European Commission Framework Programme Horizon 2020 in 2014. We will give an overview of the instruments deployed (in particular the "HPC contractual Public Private Partnership" - "HPC cPPP") and of the projects which stemmed from this programme. Nine Centres of Excellence in Computing applications and nineteen R&D projects in HPC hardware and software technologies were launched in 2015 and will soon finish. With thirteen more recent technology R&D projects and complementary coordination actions, 220 million euros of European public funding have been granted since 2015. We will give a brief overview of the first outcomes of these projects, representing only a fraction of the 700 million euros provisioned for the HPC cPPP.

Then we will highlight the recent developments of the European strategy in this area – with broadened scope and ambitions, through Digitising European Industry and European Data Infrastructure initiatives, and the launching of the European Processor Initiative – and we will mention the forthcoming calls for projects expected in the Work Programme 2018-2020, last period of funding under Horizon 2020.

We will eventually sketch the on-going recomposition of the European HPC landscape, driven by EuroHPC Joint Undertaking preparation. EuroHPC should coordinate, from 2019 onward, both the investments and procurements for pre-exascale then exascale machines, and the follow-up of HPC technologies and applications R&I programme

Biography : Jean-Philippe Nominé is in charge of HPC at CEA Strategic Analyses Department. He held various technical and management positions in HPC at CEA "Direction des Applications Militaires" between 1992 and 2016. Since 2007, he has been deeply involved in the development of CEA's European activities and collaborations in HPC: PRACE supercomputing infrastructure; ETP4HPC - industrial association for European HPC technologies; Public Private Partnership with the European Commission.
