European excellence in exascale research, showcased at SC112011-09-15T08:53:24+00:002011-09-15T08:53:24+00:00https://www.cresta-project.eu/featured-articles/europe-excellence-in-exascale-research-showcased-at-sc11.htmlLorna Smithl.smith@epcc.ed.ac.uk<p><img class="imgRightBorder" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial;" src="https://www.cresta-project.eu/images/sc11logo.jpg" alt="sc11logo" width="240" height="162" /></p>
<p>Meeting the challenges that computing at the exascale poses requires research and development on a global scale. Worldwide a number of exascale research programmes are now being created to tackle these challenges.</p>
<p>The European Union announced the start of its exascale research programme in October 2011 with the funding of three complementary Framework 7 research projects. The CRESTA, DEEP and Mont-Blanc projects, with a combined funding of 25 million, will each study different aspects of the exascale challenge using a co-design model spanning hardware, systemware and software applications.</p>
<p>This funding represents the first tranche in a sustained investment in exascale research by Europe.</p>
