Mont-Blanc project sets exascale aims

摘要

Energy efficiency is already a primary concern for the design of any computer system and it is recognised that future Exascale systems will be strongly constrained by their power consumption. This is why the Mont-Blanc project, which was launched on 14 October in Barcelona with a kick-off meeting, has set itself the following objective: to design a new type of computer architecture capable of setting future global HPC standards that will deliver Exascale performance while using 15 to 30 times less energy.
