SGA1 (Specific Grant Agreement 1) OF THE EUROPEAN PROCESSOR INITIATIVE (EPI)

The European Processor Initiative (EPI), an ambitious programme to develop low-power microprocessors for domestic supercomputers, is poised to change high-performance computing in Europe. The EU-funded project EPI SGA1 will be the first phase of the EPI, whose aim is to design and develop the first European system-on-chip and accelerator processors for high-performance computing. Both elements will be implemented and validated in a prototype that will become the basis for a full exascale machine. Application areas of the EPI processors are not limited to high-performance computing, but also cover trusted IT infrastructure, big data and emerging applications such as computing for autonomous driving.
