A strategic agenda for European leadership in supercomputing

HPC 2020 — IDC final report of the HPC study for t h e D G Information on Society of the European Commission

Metaúdaje publikácie

Supercomputing has become a key element for the competitiveness and innovation in knowledge-based economies. But in recent years, Europe has under-invested in supercomputing (also referred to as high-performance computing, HPC), both in annual spending on computing resources and in research investments, while other nations' investments grew even during the economic recession. European stakeholders from industry, research, and academia believe that Europe has a chance to jump back to the forefront of development for the next generation of HPC-based research, and for the applications and other software technologies required for the transition to petascale and exascale computing. To achieve these goals and to foster world-class ICT infrastructures for European science and research, as requested by the communication on e-infrastructures, the European Commission asked IDC to develop a Strategic Agenda for European Leadership in Supercomputing by 2020, which is presented in this report. The Strategic Agenda builds on the in-depth analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European HPC industry and market, developed by IDC's multidisciplinary team, with the support of a Technical Strategic Committee composed of experts from the European HPC community, and with the insights gathered from a large community of stakeholders. This report identifies the key challenges faced by the EU scientific and research community, the relevance of HPC for scientific and economic leadership, the needs for policy action in this field at the EU level, the potential returns of a proactive HPC strategy and a vision of supercomputing leadership in 2020. This is completed by recommendations of the actions to be undertaken, based on alternative scenarios.
