Scope:In particular, the proposal will build on the results of the Phase 1 of the European Processor Initiative (EPI), and is expected to cover the following topics:
Development of the second generation of low-power general purpose processing system units. Generate the functional and non-functional requirements (using representative HPC and big-data benchmarks, emerging applications specifications (in the automotive sector for example), and targeting maximum energy-efficiency and reliability; design the architecture of the processing system units; verify, tape-out, validate, test and bring up the processing system units; develop the required firmware and system software leveraging, as much as possible, on open source efforts and solutions. Development of the second generation of low-power processing system units for application acceleration. Generate their functional and non-functional requirements (using relevant representative HPC and big data benchmarks and emerging applications) and design their architecture to accelerate specific HPC and big data applications, including as edge and embedded automotive applications or other emerging applications. The applications must have high-volume potential. Processing units will be realised as standalone components, distributed collaborating systems or IP-blocks, and will include stand-alone open RISC V hardware approaches for accelerators with connectivity not limited to the EPI processing units, addressing a large number of application areas. Work in this topic is required to interface with topic a) in order to achieve maximum interoperability (including IP-block interfacing) and roadmap synchronisation.Validation of the first generation of low-power processing system units developed in Phase 1 (and Phase 2). Finalize the required firmware and system software leveraging, as much as possible, on open source efforts and solutions; development and integration of the boards/blades and test benches to demonstrate the processing units and accelerators developed in Phase 1 (and Phase 2) of EPI with the porting of representative sets of real-life kernels for the chosen application(s). This will address also the integration and interconnection of the EPI hardware ecosystem with other approaches. Support for a hardware and software development platform common to different processor and accelerator types. This platform should be accessible by a wide range of interested parties. Support should also be directed towards maximising early on the uptake by users of processor and accelerator technology developed in Phases 1 and 2 of EPI for testing purposes. The developed technologies will demonstrate the synergies between HPC at the exascale level and scalability to distributed collaborating systems in emerging computing applications, in the automotive sector for example. The designs should follow a modular approach that would allow a rapid scale-up or scale-down. Sustainability and economic viability of the developed solutions are key aspects.
Wherever appropriate in order to address specific technology needs and/or activities, the consortium should seek additional partners to join the FPA consortium, provided they respect the objectives of the project.
The EuroHPC JU considers that a proposal requesting a contribution from the JU of up to EUR 35 million, matched by the Participating States with a similar amount, and a duration of up to 3 years would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nevertheless this does not preclude submission and selection of a proposal with another duration or requesting other amounts.
Wherever appropriate, the proposal could seek synergies and co-financing from relevant national or regional research and innovation programmes, including structural funds addressing smart specialisation. Work combining different sources of financing should include a concrete financial plan detailing the use of these funding sources for the different parts of the activities.
Considering the specific objectives of the call for proposals and the fact that these calls concern areas of critical importance for the security of Union and the Digital Single Market and may pose potential risk to ensuring European technological autonomy in line with Article 9(5) of the Rules for Participation, the EuroHPC JU may limit the participation of legal entities established in associated countries and legal entities established in the EU but controlled from third countries.
Expected Impact:Proposals should describe how the proposed work will contribute to the impacts listed below and include a baseline, targets and metrics to measure impact.
Contribution to the realisation of the EuroHPC JU’s 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 fieldProvide European industry with a competitive edge in processor technology with potential for a wide range of applications from engineering, science and bio-medical to automotive, manufacturing, finance and emerging big-data and smart objects fieldsLeveraging 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, promotion and exploitation potential of European IP Maturity of solutions and potential for exploitation in future European exascale HPC systems

6. Additional provisions:
Horizon 2020 budget flexibility
Classified information
Technology readiness levels (TRL) – where a topic description refers to TRL, these definitions apply
As an exception from General Annex D for grants awarded under this topic and type of action, funding rate is 50 % of the eligible costs.
Members of consortium are required to conclude a consortium agreement, in principle prior to the signature of the grant agreement.
For grants awarded under this topic beneficiaries will be subject to 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.
For grants awarded under this topic the Commission or Agency 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 Model Grant Agreement will be applied.
7. Open access must be granted to all scientific publications resulting from Horizon 2020 actions.
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.
Open access to research data
The Open Research Data Pilot has been extended to cover all Horizon 2020 topics for which the submission is opened on 26 July 2016 or later. Projects funded under this topic will therefore by default provide open access to the research data they generate, except if they decide to opt-out under the conditions described in Annex L of the Work Programme. 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.
