Mission
To identify and evaluate the existing competencies across European Big Data Hardware and Networking technology sectors and application domains
To prioritize the complementary interests and the shared opportunities to unlock the highest return on their respective investments
Resulting in a roadmap that would be irrational not to follow.
4
Why Hardware matters?
All Software runs on hardware….MapReduceCUDAOpenCLMPIOpenMP…
You might not want to admit it but…
You are constrained by hardware and the network
5
In the next 10 years, the HW will change more dramatically than it has in the past 10 years
HW will influence the products and services that you provide
6
The world in 3D (3D Stacking)
Very large bandwidthVery low latencyLarge amounts of memory on a chipLocality will be extremelyimportantThermal problems

Non-volatile memory
New technologies (STT-RAM, CB-RAM, RRAM, …)More densityReplacement for DRAMs
Endurance problem
Large influence on softwareData base systemsFile systems
8
Dark Silicon Era
Thermal problemsNot all cores will be able to be on all the time
Extensive use of AcceleratorsReconfigurable computing
