Call for proposals FET Proactive - Towards Exascale High Performance Computing H2020-FETHPC-2014 Closed!
Objectives
The Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2014-2020) is implemented by specific programme and work programmes.
The “Excellent science” priority aims to reinforce and extend the excellence of the Union's science base and to consolidate the ERA in order to make the Union's research and innovation system more competitive on a global scale. It consists of four specific objectives, and this call for proposal is focused on:
"Future and emerging technologies (FET)" supports collaborative research in order to extend Europe's capacity for advanced and paradigm-changing innovation. It shall foster scientific collaboration across disciplines on radically new, high-risk ideas and accelerate development of the most promising emerging areas of science and technology as well as the Union-wide structuring of the corresponding scientific communities. High Performance Computing (HPC) is a crucial asset for Europe's innovation capacity and is of strategic importance to its scientific and industrial capabilities, as well as to its citizens. The HPC strategy of the European Commission aims at ensuring European leadership in the development and use of HPC systems, software, applications and services by 2020. The implementation of this HPC strategy in Horizon 2020 combines three elements:
(a) developing the next generation of HPC towards exascale.
(b) providing access to the best supercomputing facilities and services.
(c) achieving excellence in HPC applications.
