With a new project, the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking is concentrating on the development of new software. This is to ensure that the immense computing power of future exascale supercomputers is also effectively accessible.
Within the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU), a project to develop new software that aims to unlock the computing power of exascale systems is starting this month. The project is called Inno4scale and involves research into algorithms that can efficiently handle the enormous parallel computing power of such systems.
Exascale systems contain tens of thousands of terabytes of memory and tens of thousands of GPUs and CPUs. The world’s first exascale system is the Frontier supercomputer in the USA, which is equipped with 9,472 nodes, each with a CPU, four GPUs and 5 GB of flash memory. The system is housed in 74 cabinets. Just making sure that the data is in the right place in such a system is already a major challenge.
On the basis of smaller projects, Inno4scale has to search for algorithms that optimally use Exascale hardware. Organizations have until the end of this month to submit proposals. The project will then run for a year. Efficient algorithms will then be made more widely available. Within EuroHPC, five million dollars are earmarked for the plan.
The EU itself does not yet have exascale computers, but that is set to change soon. Last year, Europe announced that the German Jülich Institute would host the first facility in our region. That will be called Jupiter. A second unnamed exascale system is being built by France and the Netherlands.
With Inno4scale, Europe wants to ensure that researchers from industry and science can effectively and optimally use the enormous computing power in the complex HPC systems.
