EPI team attended the Supercomputing conference in Denver, with its own exhibition booth and four more shared partners’ booths exhibiting EPI materials. In addition to that, EPI representatives held several presentations and invited talks:

At the Arm User Group meeting, Yingchih Yang from Atos presented the EPI Design Updated, while Dirk Pleiter from Julich presented “Linear algebra on Arm-based platforms: From Neon to SVE”. EPI Chairman of the Board, Jean-Marc Denis attended the ETP4HPC BoF with an invited talk, and also the ASC HPC Connection Workshop with a talk titled “Recent Developments on EPI Program”.

At the workshop called “The future of Powertrain Technologies – Opportunities from Pisa and surrounding”, EPI’s consortium partner the University of Pisa presented their activities, including the ones in the European Processor Initiative.

On Thursday, October 10th KIT held the first automotive summit in cooperation with the Tongji University in Shanghai. Many representatives from research and companies in China such as BMW, Infineon, Intron and UAES (Bosch in China) participated and gave interesting presentations about their current and future R&D projects. One major topic is autonomous driving and how it can be accomplished with the currently available computing resources. Solutions ranging from edge and cloud computing to embedded HPC. In this discussion, the EPI project should not be missing. This is why Prof. Jürgen Becker from KIT gave an interesting talk about the recent research activities in Germany and Europe also mentioning the on-goings in EPI and the known partners in the consortium. The project and plans were well received by the audience.

EPI First tutorial called “First steps towards a made-in-Europe high-performance microprocessor” was held on July 17th, at the Universita Politècnica de Catalunya, co-located with the ACM 2019 Summer school on HPC architectures for AI and dedicated applications. Jaume Abella presented the section about Automotive aspects.

EPI Consortium members published “European Processor Initiative (EPI)—An Approach for a Future Automotive eHPC Semiconductor Platform” in the Electronic Components and Systems for Automotive Applications, proceedings of the 5th CESA Automotive Electronics Congress, Paris, 2018.
