At the Linnaro Connect, EPI’s Chairman of the Board, Jean-Marc Denis, gave a keynote titled “EPI: the European approach for Exascale ages. The road to sovereignty.”, while SiPearl’s VP Marketing & Business Development, Craig Prunty, gave another talk titled “Developing Rhea, the SiPearl European High-Performance Processor”.

EPI Chairman of the Board, Jean-Marc Denis, attended the Korean Supercomputing 20 that was held virtually, and delivered a keynote titled “The European approach for exascale ages. The road toward sovereignty”.

EPI Chairman of the Board, Jean-Marc Denis, held a keynote at the RISC-V Global Forum titled “EPI, the European approach for Exascale ages. The road toward sovereignty”, and Roger Espasa, from SemiDynamics, also gave a talk titled “Introducing SemiDynamics High Bandwidth RISC V IP Cores”.

Luca Benini, University of Bologna, Italy and Frank K. Gürkaynak, ETH Zürich, Switzerland held sessions of a lecture at ACACES20 Summer School, titled “Working with RISC-V: from open ISA to open Architecture to open Hardware”, where they also touched upon their work in EPI.

The hackathon was a coding event in which teams of developers ported their applications to run on GPUs, or optimized their applications that already run on GPUs.

Imen Baili from Menta presented their eFPGA technology at the SemIsrael Virtual Technology Week. The recording is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHCUCC6ZVZ8&list=PL56ixi__BxbcYBUt8Az0C5awTKPuuz-eB&index=16&t=0s

EPI consortium members participated in the HPC CoE meeting and gave presentations to the CoE members.

Here you can find the presentation on Co-design.

At the online event called International Conference on Supercomputing 2020, two EPI partners gave talks that also related to their work in EPI. Andrea Bartolini from the University of Bologna gave a talk titled “RISC-V open-ISA and open-HW – a swiss army knife for HPC”, discussing the effectiveness of RISC-V ISA and Open-HW, while Roger Espasa from SemiDynamics gave a talk titled “Hardening an academic core for industrial use”, where he discussed strategies and challenges of using open-source academic core and hardening for industrial use.
