RISC-V is trying to launch an open-hardware revolution
At the 4th Workshop on Reconfigurable Computing for Machine Learning, prof. Becker from KIT held a Workshop keynote “Neuromorphic FPGA Integration – HPC, Reliability and NN as Key Enablers”.
Ivan Spisso (CINECA) presented “HPC Benchmark Project: follow-up” at the “8th OpenFOAM Conference”. The presentation outlined the progress of the benchmarking activities aimed at benchmarking and profiling different architectures using different datasets on OpenFOAM, one of the codes selected by EPI for the co-design. It is envisioned that the same datasets will be used on Rhea as soon as it is available, providing important data with respect to the improvements to implement on the second generation.
EPI’s CCO, prof. dr.sc. Mario Kovač, attended ISSIP 2020 and delivered a keynote titled “European Processor Initiative: Europe’s Industrial Technology Cornerstone for the
Exascale Era”.
