TEXTAROSSA

TEXTAROSSA (Towards EXtreme scale Technologies and Accelerators for euROhpc hw/Sw Supercomputing Applications for exascale) aims to develop new hardware accelerators, innovative two-phase cooling solutions, advanced algorithms, methods and software

TEXTAROSSA Project Logo

To achieve high performance and high energy efficiency on near-future exascale computing systems, a technology gap needs to be bridged. 

TEXTAROSSA aims at tackling this gap through applying a co-design approach to heterogeneous HPC solutions, supported by the integration and extension of IPs, programming models and tools derived from European research projects, led by TEXTAROSSA partners.

The main directions for innovation are towards:

  • enabling mixed-precision computing, through the definition of IPs, libraries, and compilers supporting novel data types (including Posits), used also to boost the performance of AI accelerators;
  • implementing new multilevel thermal management and two-phase liquid cooling;
  • developing improved data movement and storage tools through compression;
  • ensure secure HPC operation through HW accelerated cryptography;
  • providing RISC-V based IP for fast task scheduling and IPs for low-latency intra/inter-node communication.

These technologies will be tested on the Integrated Development Vehicles mirroring and extending the European Processor Initiative ARM64-based architecture, and on an OpenSequana testbed. To drive the technology development and assess the impact of the proposed innovations TEXTAROSSA will use a selected but representative number of HPC, HPDA and AI demonstrators covering challenging HPC domains such as general-purpose numerical kernels, High Energy Physics (HEP), Oil & Gas, climate modelling, and emerging domains such as High Performance Data Analytics (HPDA) and High Performance Artificial Intelligence (HPC-AI).
