Specific Grant Agreement for the development of European Processor and Accelerators based on RISC-V

This program targets a specialized group of applicants and aims to develop cutting-edge European High-Performance Computing (HPC) technologies based on RISC-V, ensuring that the intellectual property remains within the European Union and its participating states. The overall objective is to build a robust and competitive European HPC ecosystem.

This program focuses on funding cutting-edge research and innovation in High-Performance Computing (HPC), specifically the development of RISC-V based processors and accelerators. It covers both hardware and software development, including the creation of pilot systems and optimization of critical applications.

This program provides grant funding for a single project, with a substantial budget allocation to foster the development of RISC-V based HPC technologies. The funding rate is set to encourage significant European contributions.

Applicants and beneficiaries must adhere to strict conditions related to application submission, consortium formation, budget allocation, and the handling of intellectual property, with a strong emphasis on European interests and exploitation within the EU and Participating States.

The application process follows standard Horizon Europe procedures, emphasizing thorough evaluation and clear communication of decisions. Specific guidance and forms are available through the EU Funding & Tenders Portal.

This funding program is firmly rooted in a comprehensive legal framework, primarily authorized by an EuroHPC Decision and governed by various Horizon Europe regulations and EU financial rules.
