ICT4 - Customised and low power computingExa
mples The context
ICT4 - Customised and low power computingComputing is changing (again): embedded ICT and cyber-physical systems are everywhere; demand for low-power and high-performance computing is growing; a new "computing continuum" is emerging.Three trends are common across many market segments:
Multi core andparallel architectures
Energy efficiency Mixed criticality systems and applications
ICT4 - Customised and low power computing
What we ask for (1)
Servers, micro-server and highly parallel embedded computing systems based on ultra-low power architectures
Integration of HW and SW into working prototypes
Low-power, low-cost, high-density, secure, reliable, scalable
Cross-layer programming approaches to exploit the full potential of heterogeneous parallel architectures
Multi-dimensional optimisation (performance, energy, response time…)
Programming approach per application class, easy for programmers
Scalable market approach

A good start: EUROSERVER project (FP7)New low-power architecture
Reuse energy-efficient components in a micro-server solution
High-performance, scalable from embedded to cloud
BUT: focused on hardware for H2020 we need integration across all layers (HW & SW)

ICT4 - Customised and low power computing
What we ask for (2)
Reference architectures and platformsacross several sectors and application domains
Use-case driven
Industrial consensus building, pre-normative activities, reference implementations, proof-of concept demonstrations and validation in key application domains
Small proposals
Application experiments bringing together all actors along the value chain
experiments clustered in large scale projects driven by networks of European centres of excellence
Open calls
Large proposals

A good example: I4MS (ICT for Manufacturing SMEs)
Helping high-tech and innovative SMEs to profit from advances in ICT
"In total about 200 SMEs will take part in I4MS with more than 150 innovation experiments over the next 3 years"
Need a similar initiative for customised and low-power computing

ICT4 - Customised and low power computing
Yes, but what's new?Embedded systems have evolved into cyber-physical systems (connected)
Wide availability of multi-core and the end of Moore's law
Optimisation is now multi-dimensional: energy, performance, response time, security… (more non-functional requirements)
HPC remains a different market, but now "embedded HPC" is emerging
Programmers don’t have to bespecialists in parallel algorithms
We do NOT want:Proposals with no industrial or innovation aspects.
Proposals without prototypes, applications or experiments.
Who are the leading players?System integrators (Bull, Eurotech, Ericsson, IBM, Thales)
Hardware (ST-Microelectronics, ARM, Infineon, Intel)
Research (Barcelona Supercomputing Center, FORTH, Fraunhofer, INRIA, POLIMI, UNI-Stuttgart, TU-Wien)
Industrial users (Airbus, Comau, EDF, Philips)
…and many others (including many innovative SMEs)
