The TEXTAROSSA project: Cool all the Way Down to the Hardware

The TEXTAROSSA project aims to bridge the technology gaps that exascale computing systems are currently facing and will be key in the near future to overcome performance and energy efficiency challenges. This project provides solutions for improved energy efficiency by using state-of-the-art cooling and thermal control, seamless integration of heterogeneous accelerators in HPC multi-node platforms, and new arithmetic methods tailored to heterogeneous hardware platforms. Challenges are tackled 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.
