The SPE project addresses one of Europe’s most pressing technological challenges: preparing the convergence of High Performance Computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Quantum Computing and Simulation (QCS). It will identify key research and technological challenges and produce a strategic roadmap, as well as policy papers to guide Europe’s research and innovation agenda beyond exascale. The initiative fosters cross-community collaboration in Europe and beyond through strategic exchanges with similar worldwide initiatives contributing to the development of a European competitive HPC/Quantum/AI ecosystem.
