Software for Future High Performance Computing

The ExaScience Lab develops software for High Performance Computing or HPC. This software will run on future exascale computer systems, delivering 1,000 times the performance of today’s fastest supercomputers. The lab is a unique collaboration between Imec®, Intel® and all five Flemish universities - University of Antwerp (UA), Ghent University (UGent), Hasselt University (UHasselt), Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KULeuven) and Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB).

Intel® ExaScience Life Lab

Opened in 2013 by Intel, Janssen Pharmaceutica, imec and five Flemish universities: UA, UGhent, KU Leuven, UHasselt and VUB. ExaScience Life Lab is an extension of Intel’s ExaScience Lab for High Performance Computing. ExaScience Life Lab combines Intel’s and imec’s supercomputing expertise with imec’s multidisciplinarity and the extensive expertise in Flanders in life sciences and biotechnology. Exascience Life Lab creates new supercomputer solutions to generate breakthroughs in life sciences and biotechnology.

European EXA2CT Project: EXascale Algorithms and Advanced Computational Techniques

The EXA2CT project brings together experts at the cutting edge of the development of solvers, related algorithmic techniques, and HPC software architects for programming models and communication. It will take a revolutionary approach to exascale solvers and programming models, rather than an incremental approach. We will produce modular open source proto-applications that demonstrate the algorithms and programming techniques developed in the project, to help boot-strap the creation of genuine exascale codes.
