Description
The presentation gives a short overview on the newly established partnership programmes introduced by the EU and also discusses the objectives of these partnership programmes. The first partnership was called to action in September 2018: this is the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, funded by the Commission, Participating States (35 all together from EU and outside of EU) and a few organizations of private companies.
The EuroHPC JU has been successful in its operation; just in a five years’ time the EU has become a region having the most developed supercomputing infrastructure and ecosystem in the world. Hungarian users, R&D communities are now presented to have direct accesses to the EuroHPC network of supercomputers.
Hungary also has launched an ambitious HPC development program. The first phase of this program resulted in the “Komondor” HPC of 5 PF capacity. It is established at the Debrecen University Data Center and operated by KIFÜ – the Hungarian Governmental IT Development Agency. The HPC development is going on in Hungary. With the support of the EuroHPC JU the next more powerful HPC – the “Levente” project – has been launched. It is the “Levente” HPC of 20 PF capacity. In the second part of the paper, the “Levente” system and its development is briefly discussed.
