Specific Objective 1 – High Performance Computing

The Programme shall implement the European strategy on HPC by supporting a full Union ecosystem that provides the necessary HPC and data capabilities for Europe to compete globally. The strategy aims to deploy a world-class HPC and data infrastructure with exascale capabilities between 2022 and 2023, and with post-exascale facilities between 2026 and 2027 to endow the Union with its own independent and competitive HPC technology supply, achieve excellence in HPC applications and widen the availability and use of HPC. Initial and, where appropriate, subsequent actions under this objective shall include: A joint procurement framework enabling a co-designed approach for the acquisition of an integrated network of world-class HPC, including the acquisition of exascale supercomputing and data infrastructure. That network will be easily accessible to public and private users, in particular SMEs, irrespective of the Member State in which they are located, and will be easily accessible for research purposes, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1488. A joint procurement framework for the acquisition of post-exascale supercomputing infrastructure, including the integration with quantum computing technologies. Coordination and adequate financial resources at Union level to support the development, procurement and operation of such infrastructure. Networking of Member States HPC and data capacities and support for Member States wishing to upgrade or acquire new HPC capacities. Networking of national High Performance Computing competence centres, at least one per Member State and associated with their national supercomputing centres to provide HPC services to industry, in particular SMEs, the academic community and public administrations. The deployment of ready to use operational technology, in particular supercomputing as a service resulting from research and innovation to build an integrated European HPC ecosystem, covering all segments of the scientific and industrial value chain (hardware, software, applications, services, interconnections and advanced digital skills).
