Description
Today, HPC is the key technology for research and innovation more than ever. Especially with the advent of AI, more and more powerful HPC systems will be needed. With the current technology we reach limits for energy consumption. Only developing new technologies will provide a sustainable solution for extreme and high-capacity computing. New architectures and technologies are required to further progress and accommodate the future needs for HPC. These new technologies comprise among other, novel CPU, GPU, but also data flow engines, FPGA, cryogenic, quantum and neuromorphic computing systems. The various technologies are very fast evolving. In order to prepare the European HPC users for the next large scale HPC systems, it is important to provide early access and testbeds. This will allow a better evaluation of the next generation prototypes and preparation of the programming environments for the next generation of HPC production systems. In this session, we will discuss the available next generation prototypes, the requirements to access these systems, training and support needs as well as additional elements for a service on next generation prototypes.
