Strategy for Post Exascale
The Strategy for Post Exascale (SPE) project is forging Europe’s roadmap for post-Exascale computing by uniting HPC, AI, and quantum innovation.
About SPE
Shaping Europe’s Future in HPC, AI, and Quantum Computing
The Strategy for Post Exascale (SPE) project addresses one of Europe’s most pressing technological challenges: preparing for the convergence of High-Performance Computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Quantum Computing and Simulation (QCS) in the post-Exascale era.
SPE’s ambition is to develop a dynamic, forward-looking European roadmap that anticipates technological shifts, integrates emerging ideas, and strengthens Europe’s global leadership in advanced computing.
