The DEEP project series started in December 2011 with their first project “DEEP” (Dynamical Exascale Entry Platform). The sequence continued with DEEP-ER (Extended Reach), DEEP-EST (Extreme Scale Technologies) and the last endeavor DEEP-SEA (Software for Exascale Architectures) which ended in March 2024.
Over 30 partners from 13 European countries have contributed to the DEEP projects. Their collective expertise facilitated the development of the Modular Supercomputing Architecture that formed the basis of large HPC systems like JSC’s JUWELS in Germany, LuxProvide’s MeluXina system in Luxembourg, and eventually Europe’s first Exascale system JUPITER. This architecture is enabled by the integrated software stack developed in DEEP-SEA that allows for user-friendly usage of such sophisticated systems.
The DEEP Projects have received funding from the European Commission’s FP7, H2020, and EuroHPC Programmes, under Grant Agreements n° 287530, 610476, 754304, and 955606. The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (JU) receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and Germany, France, Spain, Greece, Belgium, Sweden, Switzerland.
