The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (hereinafter “EuroHPC JU”), will contribute to the ambition of value creation in the Union with the overall mission to develop, deploy, extend and maintain in the Union an integrated world class supercomputing and quantum computing infrastructure and to develop and support a highly competitive and innovative High Performance Computing (HPC) ecosystem, extreme scale, power-efficient and highly resilient HPC and data technologies.
The rapid advances in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), in particular in Large Language Models (LLMs), and the increasing challenges of effectively using exa and post-exascale HPC architectures to meet the demands of novel AI based applications are changing the whole HPC-AI ecosystem. The magnitude of such challenges is fostering an indispensable collaboration with the key stakeholders at world level that are currently gathering their efforts in major activities to tackle those challenges and prepare the future, in particular the Trillion Parameter Consortium (TPC).
The magnitude of such challenges is fostering an indispensable collaboration with the key stakeholders at world level that are currently gathering their efforts in major activities to tackle those challenges and prepare the future, in particular the Trillion Parameter Consortium (TPC).
Proposals are invited for a Coordination and Support Action to actively participate in the organisational and technical activities of the Trillion Parameter Consortium (TPC) to guide and prepare European HPC for the convergence of supercomputing and AI in massive Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) models for science. Proposals should demonstrate a clear link with the TPC, aiming at creating extreme – scale state-of-the-art trustworthy and reliable generative AI models and to address and discuss the related key challenges to support the advancing of AI for science using HPC.
Main activities:
The action should consist of a core consortium of key European players in the related domains, and should support the participation of individuals from other scientific and industrial players and organisations in Europe that are considered necessary for the success of the goals of the proposal and related to the main activities of the TPC.
The JU estimates that an EU contribution of between €500.000 and €1.500.000 would allow these outcomes to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of a proposal requesting different amounts.
One project is expected to be funded under this call.
