Malta joins the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU), a joint initiative between the EU, European countries, and private partners that pools resources to develop a world-class supercomputing ecosystem in Europe. 

The European Commission welcomes today's General Approach in the COMPET Council by Research Ministers on the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking Regulation.

Vega, the EuroHPC JU petascale supercomputer located in Slovenia, is now running its first industrial project.

Three years after its establishment, and eight months after gaining its autonomy, the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking opens its new headquarters today in Luxembourg.

Thirteen projects have began work in April 2021 covering the three topics of the call ‘Towards Extreme Scale Technologies and Applications’, and using more than the 70% of the designated funding available under Europe 2020.

With the first EU supercomputer now operational in Slovenia, European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) is officially ready to accept the first applications to access Vega’s HPC system computing power.

Vega, the first new petascale EuroHPC machine, hosted in the Institute of Information Science in Maribor, in Slovenia, and partly financed by the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking, is fully operational.
