HiPEAC is a Network of Excellence that gathers 150+ leading European academic and industrial computing system researchers in one virtual centre. Due to technology limitations, the domain of high-performance processors is experiencing a radical shift towards parallelism through on-chip multi-cores and chip customization, leading to heterogeneous multi-core systems. Furthermore, the commodity market, the supercomputing market and the embedded market are increasingly sharing the same challenges, leading to convergence of the three markets.
Core objectives:
1. Research coordination: in HiPEAC it is done in 9 clusters, each dealing with a specific part of the HiPEAC research agenda. Clusters are formed by researchers from industry and academia interested in the topic of the cluster.
2. Collaboration and networking: Stimulate joint research between member institutions, across the different disciplines between researchers from academia and industry, between European and non-European institutions. This collaboration between best of breed must lead to more European excellence in the HiPEAC domain.
3. Valorisation: Stimulate valorisation of research results by highly visible publications and commercialization of research results by existing companies or by newly created companies.
