The European High Performance Computing (EuroHPC) Joint Undertaking kicked off two new projects supporting the development of European exascale systems. LIGATE will make the most of European supercomputing capabilities to improve computer-aided drug design and support prompt reaction to worldwide pandemic crisis, while SCALABLE will drive innovation of European industries and support fundamental research thanks to improved computational fluid dynamics.

The procurement contract of a new EuroHPC petascale supercomputer has been signed by the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU), the hosting entity: the consortium “Petascale Supercomputer Bulgaria” whose leading partner is Sofia Tech Park, and the company Atos, the selected vendor.

The project FF4EuroHPC launched its first open call to support European SMEs in making the most of advanced High Performance Computing (HPC) services. Funded by the European Union and supervised by the European HPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU), the project aims at boosting the innovation potential and competitiveness of SMEs, while widening the use of HPC in Europe.
