Information
Thanks to the mechanisms of EuroHPC JU, Europe has now a significant pool of advanced HPC resources. However, the industrial use of these systems is well below the target of 20%, as businesses require a different approach from the one applied to academia.A tailored approach is required that would remove the barriers, which would, among others, include the resolution of the following issues:Reliability, predictability and elasticity in accessing the system, as companies operate to a tight scheduleShort data transfer timeAdvanced security/encryption, as companies are reluctant to have their data leave their systemsA customised payment/cost systemApplication licensing needs to accommodate the operational volumes of modern industry.One of the potential solutions would be to make dedicated industrial-grade systems. But can the European HPC technology providers supply such systems? And can the whole ecosystem afford the implementation and operational cost of them?The objective of ETP4HPC’s Industrial Use Working Group is to propose solutions that meet such expectations of the European industrial user within ETP4HPC’s Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) 6. The draft of the corresponding SRA chapter will be available at www.etp4hpc.eu/sra before the event. This BoF aims at verifying its assumptions, with a view to influencing the European HPC Work Programme and other investments managed by EuroHPC JU.
