The RISC project aims at deepening strategic R&B cooperation between Europe and Latin America in the field of High Performance Computing (HPC) by building a multinational and multi-stakeholder community that will involve a significant representation of the relevant HPC R&D European and Latin American actors (researchers , policy makers , users). RISC will identify common needs .research issues and opportunities for R&D on HPC between EU and Latin America in the transition to multi-core architectures across the computing spectrum and relevant programming paradigms ,algorithms and modelling approaches, thus setting the basis for the formulation of a global strategy for future research.
Objectives
- deepining strategic R&D cooperation between Europe and Latin America in the field of High Performance Computing (HPC) by building a multinational and multistakeholder community through capacity building, awareness building, networking and training events.
- Assessing the ICT collaboration potential for the two regions
- EU and Latin America
- producing a Green Card on High Performance Computing and Supercomputing Drivers and Needs in Latin America
- Producing a RoadMap for High Performance Computing and Supercomputing strategic R&D in Latin America
- Identifying strategic research clusters in order to foster targeted research collaboration in these areas;
- Enhancing HPC and R&D policy dialogue between policy makers and stakeholders from EU and Latin American HPC communities
