The European Commission has anted up €3.9 million to create a set of tools and runtime frameworks that will be used to support the exascale supercomputers to be deployed across the continent in the coming decade. The project, known as the European joint Effort toward a Highly Productive Programming Environment for Heterogeneous Exascale Computing (EPEEC), kicked off in October 2018 and is scheduled to run through September 2021.
