The performance of computing devices has significantly increased and they have a crucial impact on each aspect of our lives. With innovation happening faster than ever, there are multiple races:  a race to define the “next web” and the new computing continuum, a race for ever more powerful Artificial Intelligence and its use, a race for new hardware and heterogeneity, a race for cybersecurity, a race for sovereignty and sustainability, etc. With new facets of ICT emerging so rapidly, this Connect University session explores all these aspects of the new HiPEAC vision.

HiPEAC

HiPEAC (High Performance Embedded Architecture and Compilation) is the premier focal point for networking, dissemination, training, and collaboration activities in Europe for researchers, industry, and policy related to computing systems. Today, its network, the biggest of its kind in Europe, numbers over 2,000 specialists.

HiPEAC’s mission is to advance computer architecture and computing systems research and development as a discipline in Europe.

Every two years HiPEAC  produces the "HiPEAC Vision", a comprehensive analysis of the state of the art and an important reference for understanding the future of technologies and the market trends in all the domains relevant for digital policy and research. It also contains directions for future research and developments.

Subtopics:

•    The future of the computing continuum & next web,

•    the developments of Artificial Intelligence,

•    the new computing paradigms such as quantum computing,

•    technologies beyond silicon,

•    European sovereignty and sustainability,

•    software and the limits of programming,

•    impact of computing on society

Speakers:

• Prof. Koen de Bosschere, University of Ghent and HiPEAC coordinator

• Dr. Marc Duranton, CEA France, HiPEAC vision coordinator
