COST IC1305 : Nesus

Participants : Marcos Dias de Assunção, Laurent Lefèvre.

  • Program: COST

  • Project acronym: IC1305

  • Project title: Network for Sustainable Ultrascale Computing (NESUS)

  • Duration: 2014-2019

  • Coordinator: Jesus Carretero (Univ. Madrid)

  • Abstract: Ultrascale systems are envisioned as large-scale complex systems joining parallel and distributed computing systems that will be two to three orders of magnitude larger that today's systems. The EU is already funding large scale computing systems research, but it is not coordinated across researchers, leading to duplications and inefficiencies. The goal of the NESUS Action is to establish an open European research network targeting sustainable solutions for ultrascale computing aiming at cross fertilization among HPC, large scale distributed systems, and big data management. The network will contribute to glue disparate researchers working across different areas and provide a meeting ground for researchers in these separate areas to exchange ideas, to identify synergies, and to pursue common activities in research topics such as sustainable software solutions (applications and system software stack), data management, energy efficiency, and resilience. In Nesus, Laurent Lefèvre is co-chairing the Working on Energy Efficiency (WG5).
