- To building and exploring appropriate systemware for exascale platforms. From the development environment, through algorithms and libraries, user tools, and the underpinning and cross-cutting technologies, we aim to produce an integrated suite of systemware to progress European competitiveness.
- To enable a set of key co-design applications for exascale. Representing an exceptional group of applications used by European academia and industry to solve critical grand challenge issues, we will enable these to prepare for and exploit exascale technology, enabling Europe to be at the forefront of solving world-class science challenges.
- Co-design is at the heart of the project. CRESTA’s objective is to ensure the co-design applications provide guidance and feedback to the systemware development process and integrate and benefit from this development in a cyclical manner.
- CRESTA aims to use a dual pathway to exascale solutions: employing incremental and disruptive approaches to technical innovation – sometimes following both paths for a particular problem to compare and contrast the challenges associated with each approach.
