Next Generation Computing

IT applications are currently experiencing rapidly growing demand for more computing power and efficiency, particularly through artificial intelligence. A high level of dynamism can be observed in the market at SME and start-up level.

High performance computing

• “Total available market": around EUR 50 billion with growth of 8% per year

Neuromorphic computing

• “Total Available Market": around EUR 4 billion with growth of 20 percent per year

Priorities

• Software systems
  • Runtime systems, scaling and efficient simulation software, software for neuromorphic computing
