FP7 & H2020: EXA2CT project

• Type: FP7

• Challenge: Special action

• Instrument: Specific Targeted Research Project

• Objective: Exascale computing platforms, software and applications

• Duration: September 2013 - August 2016

• Coordinator: S. Ashby, IMEC, Belgium

• Partners: 10 partners

• Inria contact: Luc Giraud

• Web page: https://projects.imec.be/exa2ct/

• Abstract: The goal of this project is to develop novel algorithms and programming models to tackle what will otherwise be a series of major obstacles to using a crucial component of many scientific codes at exascale, namely solvers and their constituents. The results of this work will be combined in running programs that demonstrate the application-targeted use of these algorithms and programming models in the form of proto-applications.
