Summary

ETP4HPC and HiPEAC co-organized a "post H2020 vision for HPC " workshop in Frankfurt, set up in 2 separate events. On Sunday, 24 June, a series of 7 talks by internationally recognized HPC experts presented major trends, new focus areas, technology innovations and new HPC use models. The use case areas ranged from traditional computing techniques to “HPC in the loop” and “HPC in cyber-physical environments”. Two take-away messages were that HPC, Data Analytics and AI will be much more integrated in future use scenarios than one could have foreseen. In fact, AI mechanisms and applications are starting to be integrated into HPC applications even today. Another message was that HPC functionality will be needed also outside of data centers. Modern Industry 4.0 workflows as well as use cases such as autonomous driving will require HPC functionality in a continuous data sensing - data analysis - simulation - prediction cycle: "HPC in the loop".

On 27 June,  technical experts from both organisations then had an internal session to review the messages and key observations from the 24 June talks, and start to formulate a set of major candidate research focus areas for a "post H2020" timeframe.    

This workshop was the first in a series of events that aim to define a shared vision for the European HPC technology roadmap for the period of 2021-26. This vision should form the basis of the European HPC Research and Innovation Work Programmes following Horizon 2020 (e.g. FP9). We expect our Vision document to be available in the first quarter of 2019. Our partners in the European Big Data and Artificial Intelligence communities are working on similar documents and we will collaborate with them in order to reach a shared view.
