The Drivers of the EPI Proposal

High Performance Computing needs for Exascale machines beyond 2022

Connected mobility& AD Autonomous Driving computing needs beyond 2023

Low power CPU needs for Servers and Cloud


23 partners officially in the EPI consortium

https://www.cineca.it/



EPI Mission

European independence in High Performance Computing Technologies

– EU Exascale machine based on EU processor by 2023

Based on a solid, long-term economic model


Vision

Develop (and sell) an EU-made family of High-Performance Processors for:

1. High Performance Computers from 2020+ (Exascale on Target)

2. Connected mobility & AD Autonomous (Driving computing needs beyond 2023)

3. Other markets under exploration (Server, Cloud)

Leveraging technical synergies between the markets and aggregate financial efforts across these markets


Scalability allows wide market potential coverage
