The European Exascale Software Initiative:

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.
