Mont-Blanc

This project will develop HPC systems from today's energy-efficient solutions used in embedded and mobile devices. As of today, the CPUs of these devices are mostly designed by ARM. However, ARM processors have not been designed for HPC, and ARM chips have never been used in HPC systems before, leading to a number of significant challenges. In this project the SDL Plasma Physics will contribute via the porting of scientific HPC applications on the new prototypes and evaluate the features of the new architectures.
