Objective OPERA project aims at supporting these ambitious challenges with technological innovation on three main aspects: • Design next generation Low Power (LP) and Ultra-Low Power (ULP) systems, • improve energy efficiency in computing by means of heterogeneous architectures, • and provide smart and energy efficient solution for the interaction between embedded smart systems and remote small form-factor data centersOPERA project fits into the mission and scope of the H2020 ICT workplan for 2014 and 2015 aspiring to the European leadership in industrial technologies for the Ultra-Low Power computing devices and sensors enabling an ecosystem of heterogeneous devices and small form factor data centersIn this context, OPERA’s vision is to deliver innovation on highly parallel, heterogeneous, reliable, low power, and secure systems leveraging both low power server-class processors and reconfigurable devices. While the former provide energy efficient processing power for the majority of the workloads, the latter offer the possibility of customizing and adapting hardware solutions over time to specific needs. The targets of innovation in OPERA are next generation LP servers and highly parallel embedded computer systems based on ULP architectures. Adopting a mechanism for selecting the best processing element for a specific task is fundamental for achieving good levels in energy efficiency. OPERA aims at exploiting such kind of mechanisms to orchestrate both general-purpose and reconfigurable devices. The OPERA vision is to integrate ULP smart devices into a platform that uses next-generation LP servers to remotely process the data and offering cloud-based services. OPERA's added value to the project is the validation of the technological solutions on three different real-life workloads use-cases. By integrating and optimizing computing systems for energy efficiency at different levels of the computing continuum, OPERA envisages the creation of big opportunities for Europe Fields of science engineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectrical engineeringelectric energyengineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectronic engineeringsensorsoptical sensorsengineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectrical engineeringpower engineeringelectric power transmissionengineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectronic engineeringcomputer hardwaresupercomputersnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesartificial intelligencecomputational intelligence Programme(s) H2020-EU.2.1.1. - INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP - Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies - Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Main Programme Topic(s) ICT-04-2015 - Customised and low power computing Call for proposal H2020-ICT-2015 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme RIA - Research and Innovation action Coordinator STMICROELECTRONICS SRL Net EU contribution € 630 000,00 Address Via c.olivetti 2 20864 Agrate brianza Italy See on map Region Nord-Ovest Lombardia Monza e della Brianza Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 Participants (10) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all IBM ISRAEL - SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LTD Israel Net EU contribution € 956 102,50 Address 94 derech em-hamoshavot 49527 Petach tikva See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 HEWLETT PACKARD CENTRE DE COMPETENCES FRANCE France Net EU contribution € 675 000,00 Address Avenue du canada 1 91940 Les ulis See on map Region Ile-de-France Ile-de-France Essonne Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 NALLATECH LIMITED United Kingdom Net EU contribution € 975 000,00 Address Room 1c-114 bristol & bath science park dirak crescent emersons green BS16 7FR Bristol See on map SME The organization defined itself as SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) at the time the Grant Agreement was signed.
