EUPEX

The EuroHPC EUPEX consortium will design and build a European modular Exascale-ready pilot system integrating a European general-purpose processor technology (EPI), an interconnect technology (BXI) and a software stack for HPC based on a modular supercomputing architecture (MSA). The High Performance Computing and its Applications Group is contributing to the key technologies here. In particular, we will evaluate direct communication methods for distributed accelerator technologies and adapt them for the new pre-exascale evaluation platform EUPEX. We will also look at the aspect of I/O load balancing in parallel file systems for application and metadata and introduce suitable optimization approaches.
