Mission & Goals
ETP4HPC – the European Technology Platform (ETP) for High-Performance Computing (HPC) - is a private, industry-led and non-profit association. Our main mission is to promote European HPC research and innovation in order to maximise the economic and societal benefit of HPC for European science, industry and citizens. Our main task is to propose research priorities and programme contents in the area of HPC technology and usage, by issuing a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA). This SRA is used by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (JU) to define the contents of the HPC Technology Work Programmes. We are a private member of the EuroHPC JU that provides mechanisms and resources to develop globally competitive European HPC systems, technology and application expertise. We have several representatives in their Research and Innovation Advisory Group (RIAG).
