Supported by the EC, the 22nd annual eChallenges e-2012 Conference & Exhibition takes place in Lisbon, Portugal, 17 - 19 October.
The objective of this Support Action, co-funded by the European Commission is to build a european vision and roadmap to address the challenges of the new generation of massively parallel systems composed of millions of heterogeneous cores which will provide multi-Petaflop performances in the next few years and Exaflop performances in 2020**.
More information on the project and its structure and objectives are available in the section Project.
Details on Work Groups and experts involved can be found in the section "Working Groups"
*The speed of a supercomputer is measured in "FLOPS", FLoating Point Operations Per Second, "Petascale" supercomputers can process 1015 FLOPS. Exascale supercomputers can process 1018 FLOPS, one million teraflops.
