The conference gathered more attendees than ever before, who were eager to see that is new in the European HPC space and perhaps eager to visit poster sessions, demos or finally, get a special look into the work of European supercomputers.

The European Processor Initiative was present at the event. Prof. Mario Kovač, EPI's CCO and Director of our Centre, attended the poster sessions explaining how far along we are in the project timeline. EPI's partners showcased the EPAC chip, the first RISC-V based prototype leveraging vector acceleration coming from the EPI project, while EPI's General Manager Etienne WAlter attended the parallel session on European Chip Initiatives for HPC.
