Objectives

One of the EESI2 main objectives is to provide recommendations on strategic European actions with a particular focus on software key issues improvement, cross cutting issues advances, and gap analysis.

The objective of EESI2 is to build on the work done within EESI1 and to extend this role of external and independent representative of the European Exascale community. EESI2 aims to:

1. Contribute to the coordination and the monitoring of the European Exascale Open Source software production, towards an implementation.
2. Produce a dynamic updated roadmap of Exascale industrial applications, Exascale applications for Climate, earth sciences, fundamental physics, life science with a particular emphasis on the breakthroughs and gap analysis.
3. Produce a roadmap of Numerical Libraries, Software eco-system, scientific software engineering and programmability. Once again, emergence of breakthroughs in linear or non linear algebra or in particle simulation for example, will be monitored ex: eigenvalues of tensors?
4. Follow up of research program in massively parallel stochastic programming, Uncertainties, Power, Performance, Data management, Resilience, with a particular emphasis on the breakthroughs and gap analysis.
5. Exchange and dissemination
6. Act as a pro-active European voice in the international community and propose an International Exascale Software Initiative
7. Prepare periodic synthesis by key issues – Recommendations for EC, Funding agencies and R&D stakeholders
