GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

The call will support research and innovation actions that will develop and adapt HPC applications for the exascale and post-exascale era. Adapting existing applications to exascale computing capability requires significant changes and in some cases current application codes cannot run on exascale or post-exascale systems without a complete rethink or substantial code rewrite.

Requirements for CoEs:

• The provision of services supporting different usage models for the community needs, including developing, maintaining, optimising (if needed re-designing) and scaling HPC application codes, addressing the full scientific/industrial workflow, particularly covering data aspects; testing and validating codes and quality assurance,
• Enhancing HPC applications and ensembles of coupled applications towards highly scalable, optimised codes.
• Streamline development, collaboration, automated testing and deployment processes throughout the application development and maintenance cycle, for example, by provisioning and using state-of-the-art development tools, platforms and software management models.
• Fostering pre-exascale-oriented codes and innovative algorithms that address societal challenges and/or are important for key scientific and industrial applications. Demonstration of clear societal, industrial, and/or scientific benefit is mandatory.
• Provision of codes aimed at capacity pre-exascale systems for ensemble workloads that might not need tight interconnection between runs. Proposals must convincingly demonstrate the ensemble pre-exascale capabilities and needs.
• Collaboration with EuroHPC JU systems and infrastructure federation initiatives to implement a robust and reliable automated deployment process for applications, in order to make novel developments timely available to the EuroHPC JU user communities.
• Involvement in co-design activities (hardware, software, codes), including the collaboration with HPC vendors and the identification of suitable applications relevant to the development of European HPC technologies towards exascale.
