Europe Invests in Exascale

In this podcast, the Radio Free HPC team looks at European Commission's recent move to fund exascale development with 1 Billion Euros.

While Europe already had a number of exascale initiatives under way, this is a major step forward in that it puts up the money. Under a new legal and funding structure, the Commission’s contribution will be $486 million, or roughly half of the projected EUR 1 Billion total. Before the new structure was put in place, the Commission was effectively limited to contributing only 20 percent of HPC initiatives undertaken with member states.

After that, we do our Catch of the Week.
