EuroHPC is to issue call next month for RISC-V chiplet projects in January with €270m of backing.

www.eenewseurope.com, Dec. 29, 2022 – 

A Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA) aims to set up a long term partnership between the EuroHPC joint undertaking and a consortium of industry, research organisations and the institutions in High Performance Computing. This would drive a 'strategic and ambitious R&D initiative contributing to the development of innovative HPC hardware and software technology based on the open RISC-V ecosystem'.

This will be followed by a plan to build and deploy exascale and post-exascale supercomputers based on the technology.

To avoid the fragmentation of previous programmes, this partnership will be set up through one single FPA with several complementary parallel and consecutive Specific Grant Agreements (SGAs) that will carry out the different activities in a common framework. Applications will open on 26th January 2023 and close on 4th April.

The programme will cover the design, development, testing, tape-out of different generations of energy efficient high-end RISC-V processors and/or accelerators, in particular chiplet-based approaches, as well as integration in test-beds and at least one pilot in pre-operational environments in supercomputing centres for user testing and validation.
