Abstract: The TEXTAROSSA project aims to bridge the technology gaps that exascale computing systems will face in the near future in order to overcome their performance and energy efficiency challenges. This project provides solutions for improved energy efficiency and thermal control, seamless integration of heterogeneous accelerators in HPC multi-node platforms, and new arithmetic methods. Challenges are tacked through a co-design approach to heterogeneous HPC solutions, supported by the integration and extension of HW and SW IPs, programming models, and tools derived from European research.
