Policies on HPC

The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) is pooling European resources to buy and deploy top-of-the-range supercomputers and develop innovative exascale supercomputing technologies and applications. It aims to improve quality of life, advance science, boost industrial competitiveness, and ensure Europe’s technological autonomy.

High performance computing (HPC), also known as supercomputing, refers to computing systems with extremely high computational power that are able to solve hugely complex and demanding problems. In the digital era, HPC is at the core of major advances and innovation, and a strategic resource for Europe's future.

Many objects in our world are controlled by computers: cars, buildings, manufacturing machines or even musical instruments. In these cases, computers interact directly with the physical world. That is why we call them “cyber-physical systems” (CPS).
