Impact

CRESTA is proposed by a world-class consortium with the capability to make a significant impact in this area and beyond. For each and every partner, the successful outcome of this project is central to its core business. The chances of success and resultant impact are consequently very high.

The successful outcome of CRESTA will have a significant impact on all members of the consortium:

• The application users will see improved performance on current hardware and will benefit from the migration of their codes to exascale systems over the coming decade;
• The systems and tool vendors will see improved products not only in terms of current offerings, but also in terms of future products.
• The HPC centres will benefit from the availability of exascale hardware, exascale system software and exascale-enabled applications.

Furthermore, the impact of CRESTA will go far beyond the consortium making this proposal. The outcome of CRESTA will make exascale computing available to a larger group from academe, the public sector and industry. Together these will contribute significantly to the development of the European economy and maintain Europe’s leading position in the exploitation of High-Performance computing.
