RISER heads to beautiful Barcelona for HiPEAC’25

The HiPEAC 2025 conference is the premier European forum for experts in computer architecture, programming models, compilers and operating systems for general-purpose, embedded and cyber-physical systems. Areas of focus and integration include safety-critical dependencies, cybersecurity, energy efficiency and machine learning.

This year, the HiPEAC conference will take place in the beautiful city of Barcelona, Spain from the 20-23 of January.. Associated workshops, tutorials, special sessions, several large poster session and an industrial exhibition will run in parallel with the conference.

Sessions featuring the RISER project include: 

EU projects’ poster session

Ground Floor | Wed, January 22nd | 10:00 – 17:30

Spotlight on the latest breakthroughs in European-funded research. With lunch and coffee breaks located in the poster display area, as well as the welcome drinks reception. The RISER Poster can be downloaded here.

CompContinuum: Computing Continuum of Cloud, Edge, and IoT Technologies workshop (co-organization)

Room 8 | Wed, January 22nd | 10:00 – 13:00

The 2nd Workshop on Computing Continuum (CompContinuum’25) will provide the community with a dedicated venue for discussing fundamental challenges and research opportunities, deployment efforts, state-of-the-art and best practices in supporting efficient combinations of Cloud, Edge, HPC, and IoT technologies in a computing continuum setting. The half-day workshop aims to foster discussion of the following topics:

• What changes and optimizations to hardware and system architecture are critical for enabling the computing continuum?
• What changes to the software stack, including drivers, operating systems, middleware, and system software, are needed?
• What is critical for enabling a computing continuum’s power and energy efficiency, while contributing to achieving the goals of the European Green Deal?
• What workloads can leverage the heterogeneity, elasticity, and dynamic resource provisioning from the computing continuum?

CONCERTO – Projects Cross-Synergy in Advancing Exascale Platforms and Quantum Computing

Room 7 | Wed, January 22nd | 10:00 – 17:30

High Performance Computing (HPC) domain is quickly moving towards breaking the performance barrier of 1 ExaFLOPS (i.e., being able to execute more than 1 billion billion of calculations per second) by building supercomputers equipped with advanced heterogeneous processing elements. Examples of this heterogeneity can be found in the proliferation of X86 alternatives (ARM and RISC-V) for the CPU part, as well as the progressive integration of GPUs, reconfigurable devices (FPGAs) or dedicated ASICs. With the fast growing of AI domain, also hyper-scalers (Cloud platforms) saw the massive adoption of acceleration technologies aimed at improving performance, scalability and energy efficiency. Beside this, resource management software requires to be rethought to better adapt to the raising complexity of applications. From this standpoint, the last years saw a proliferation of application workflows mixing tasks coming from High- Performance Computing together with others from very different domains like machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL) and big data (BD). On the other hand, disruptive technologies like quantum processing and neuromorphic computing architectures are facing in front of the HPC/Cloud communities, demanding for a deep understanding of their potential benefits and integration. This complex landscape provides the common background to many EU funded projects. As such, each project focuses on specific aspects as their foundation of the main objectives to achieve, while leaving room for synergies with others.
