About PEPR NumPEx

Overview

The PEPR NumPEx is a strategic French initiative dedicated to advancing scientific and technological research in the realm of exascale computing. Funded by the French government, this ambitious program aims to position France as a leader in high-performance computing (HPC) and to develop innovative solutions for the most complex computational challenges of our time.

Goals

The primary objective of the NumPEx program is to cultivate state-of-the-art expertise and infrastructures in exascale computing. By achieving this, the program will enable computations at an unprecedented scale, reaching performance levels of up to a quintillion (10^18) operations per second. The specific goals of NumPEx include:

Technological Advances

  • Research and Development: Promote the exploration of new architectures, software, and computing technologies to achieve exascale performance.
  • Innovation: Develop new computational paradigms, optimize existing algorithms, and create novel methods to address complex problems.

Research Infrastructure

  • Advanced Computing Centers: Support the establishment of dedicated research infrastructures, including specialized laboratories and high-performance computing clusters.
  • Resource Provision: Equip researchers with the necessary tools to conduct large-scale experiments, simulations, and analyses.

International Cooperation

  • Collaboration: Foster partnerships with international entities to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, share resources, and drive collective progress in exascale computing.
  • Global Impact: Enhance France's standing in the global HPC community by contributing to and learning from international advancements.
