More on 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 updated investigation report on existing HPC initiatives (deliverable D2.2) is available -   download here
