The European Joint Undertaking for High Performance Computing (EuroHPC Joint Undertaking) is a joint initiative of the EU, European countries and private partners whose mission is to develop in Europe the world’s largest high-performance supercomputing ecosystem.
EuroHPC has been a legal entity with financing capacity since 2018. It is located in Luxembourg. It enables the EU and the 32 participating countries to coordinate their efforts and pool resources with the aim of deploying exascale supercomputers in Europe capable of performing more than one trillion (1018) operations per second and developing innovative technologies and applications. EuroHPC seeks to provide IT solutions, improving cooperation in advanced scientific research, boosting industrial competitiveness and ensuring European technological and digital autonomy.
The pan-European infrastructure will have in 2021 three pre-exascale supercomputers (1017 operations/s), located in Spain (at the National Supercomputing Center BSC-CNS), Italy and Finland, and five petascale supercomputers (1015 operations/s) to be located in Bulgaria, Slovenia, Luxembourg, Portugal and the Czech Republic. The European scientific and industrial community can access the resources offered by participating in competitive EuroHPC calls.
