Specific Challenge:to develop world-class extreme scale, and energy-efficient High Performance Computing (HPC) and data driven technologies, that use software engineering techniques, programming tools and libraries that can be adapted and retargeted to rapidly evolving HPC architectures, in view of maximising application performance and efficiency in next generation supercomputers. Actions should allow leveraging the efforts on the European low power processing technologies as well as the Centres of Excellence and build a sustainable exascale HPC ecosystem in Europe, enabling collaborations among the relevant stakeholders.
Scope:Proposals should address the development of extreme scale computing technologies and system architectures, programming models and tools, resource management, fault tolerance, and mathematical methods and algorithms in an increasingly complex and heterogeneous computing environment with memory and storage hierarchies. The approaches should respond to critical demands of application performance, energy efficiency, scale, resilience, scheduling, programmability, etc., across the levels of the compute stack, including compute elements, networking, data storage and data handling. A co-design approach should be followed, covering from the application to the hardware, answering user challenges of industry and research centres/academia and involving the work on the European low power processing technologies and results of Centres of Excellence, significant previous European and national projects in the area, and the data provided e.g. by the Digital Innovation Hubs.
The approaches should ensure that they contribute to the realisation of future exascale system architectures based on European technologies. In particular, proposals have to demonstrate that such approaches align with the efforts of European low power processing technologies, by describing the mechanisms that will be used for that purpose.
Proposals should address one or more of the following sub-topics (proposals should clearly indicate the sub-topic which is their main focus):
a) Technologies to increase sustained application performance at node and system level, improve energy efficiency and open new usage domains (e.g. High-Performance Data Analytics and mixed precision technologies for existing computing models as well as for Artificial Intelligence).
b) Technologies to manage data volumes generated and consumed, to minimize data movement and to increase flexibility to store, manipulate and access extremely large data sets in very heterogeneous computing environments.
c) Networking capabilities allowing low latency and high bandwidth communication between large numbers of extreme computing and data components (e.g. nodes, storage, memory, accelerator etc.).
d) Programming models, associated run-time systems, system software and compilers to ensure code scalability, maintainability, functionality and performance portability and optimisation across existing and possible future architectures and systems.
e) New mathematical methods and algorithms to ensure efficient usability and improve energy efficiency, featuring high robustness and enhanced scalability.
The JU considers that for sub topics a), b) and c) proposals requesting a contribution from the JU of up to EUR 4 million, respectively requesting a contribution from the JU of up to EUR 7.5 million for sub-topic d) and requesting a contribution from the JU of up to 1.5 million for sub topic e), and , matched by the Participating States with a similar amount, and a duration of 3 years would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately[1]. Nevertheless this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals with another duration or requesting other amounts. At least one proposal per sub-topic will be selected for sub topics a), b), c) and d).
Successful proposals are expected to coordinate their approaches to ensure coherence of the expected outcomes with the EuroHPC exascale roadmap.
Expected Impact:Proposals should describe how the proposed work will contribute to the listed corresponding expected impacts and include baseline, targets and metrics to measure impact.
Contribution to the realisation of the EuroHPC overall and specific objectives[2]Strengthening scientific leadership as well as the competitiveness and innovation potential of European industry, contributing to a sustainable exascale HPC supply ecosystem in Europe and ensuring European technological autonomy in this fieldLeveraging the efforts on the European low power processing technologies (in particular the European Processor Initiative) and contributing to the realisation of future exascale system architectures based on such technologiesCreation and promotion of European IPMaturity of solutions and potential for commercial exploitation in future European exascale HPC systems

The conditions related to the topics are provided at the end of this call and in the General Annexes of the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018-2020 [[Available at: http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/other/wp/2018-2020/annexes/h2020-wp1820-annex-ga_en.pdf]].
Members of consortium are required to conclude a consortium agreement, in principle prior to the signature of the grant agreement.
Grants awarded under this topic will be complementary.
The respective options of Article 2, Article 31.6 and Article 41.4 of of the EuroHPC JU Model Grant Agreement will be applied.
Grants awarded under this topic will include a common task, defined by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, contributing to the definition of a common, overarching objective such as, for example, the definition of a reference exascale system architecture, including in cooperation with other Grants awarded by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking.
Participants are encouraged to include a security self-assessment identifying any security issues and detailing how those issues will be addressed in order to comply with the relevant national and Union laws. Where appropriate, the Joint Undertaking may carry out a security scrutiny for proposals raising security issues in accordance with General Annex J of the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018-2020. The security scrutiny may lead to security requirements that are set out in Annex 1 to the EuroHPC JU Model Grant Agreement.
For grants awarded under this topic the JU may object to a transfer of ownership or the exclusive licensing of results to a third party established in a third country not associated to Horizon 2020. The respective option of Article 30.3 of the EuroHPC JU Model Grant Agreement will be applied.
Additionally, the Work Plan foresees additional exploitation obligations, requiring that first exploitation of the results takes place in Europe using an option of Article 28 of the EuroHPC JU Model Grant Agreement as a default option.
8. Open access to research data and specific publications:
Open access must be granted to all scientific publications resulting from actions covered by this topic.
Where relevant, proposals should also provide information on how the participants will manage the research data generated and/or collected during the project, such as details on what types of data the project will generate, whether and how this data will be exploited or made accessible for verification and re-use, and how it will be curated and preserved.
Projects funded under this topic will by default provide open access to the research data they generate, except if they decide to opt-out. Part L of the General Annexes to the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018-2020 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the actions covered by this topic. Projects can opt-out at any stage, that is both before and after the grant signature.
Note that the evaluation phase proposals will not be evaluated more favourably because they plan to open or share their data, and will not be penalised for opting out.
Open research data sharing applies to the data needed to validate the results presented in scientific publications. Additionally, projects can choose to make other data available open access and need to describe their approach in a Data Management Plan.
Projects need to create a Data Management Plan (DMP), except if they opt-out of making their research data open access. A first version of the DMP must be provided as an early deliverable within six months of the project and should be updated during the project as appropriate. The Commission already provides guidance documents, including a template for DMPs. See the Online Manual.
Eligibility of costs: costs related to data management and data sharing are eligible for reimbursement during the project duration.
The legal requirements for projects participating in this pilot are in the article 29.3 of the Model Grant Agreement.
