Information
Poster is on display.
This poster is structured in two main sections.
The first section introduces the European PILOT project (Pilot using Independent, Local and Open Technologies), which aims to demonstrate a fully European accelerator-based HPC system designed, implemented, and owned in Europe. The project focuses on open-source hardware and software technologies, building on the RISC-V instruction set architecture and open standards.
As accelerators deliver the majority of performance in modern HPC systems and are essential for Exascale computing, European PILOT addresses a strategic challenge: enabling high-performance computing based on European-controlled technologies. The project combines open-source accelerator designs, canonical HPC and High Performance Data Analytics (HPDA) applications, system software, and open-source system integration, including advanced cooling and power delivery solutions at rack level.
Bringing together multiple European partners, European PILOT leverages existing intellectual property while developing new reusable IP blocks that can serve as building components for future European HPC systems across both traditional and emerging application domains. At its core, the project delivers an HPC pilot system built entirely on European technologies—from racks and enclosures to CPUs, accelerators, and the software stack running on top.
The second section of the poster presents the project timeline, highlighting key milestones and providing an update on the final phase of European PILOT. It outlines the system integration progress, validation activities, and the expected technical and strategic outcomes of the project, with a focus on its contribution to European digital autonomy in high-performance computing.
