SparCity: An Optimization and Co-design Framework for Sparse Computation

Project description

A world-class supercomputing infrastructure in Europe

Exascale supercomputers are able to perform more than 1 trillion operations per second. Developing a world-class supercomputing infrastructure in Europe and increasing competitiveness is being pursued by the European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking. In this context, the EU-funded SPARCITY project will create a supercomputing framework that will provide efficient algorithms and coherent tools. The aim is to maximise performance and energy efficiency of sparse computations on emerging high-performance computing systems. Specifically, it will enhance the computing scale and energy efficiency of four challenging real-life applications that come from drastically different domains, namely, computational cardiology, social networks, bioinformatics and autonomous driving.
