HiPEAC Vision 2024
Résumé
For the seventh edition of the European-funded HiPEAC project, the source of the acronym ‘HiPEAC’ changed from ‘High Performance Embedded Architecture and Compilation’ to ‘High Performance, Edge And Cloud computing’ to better reflect how computing has morphed from discrete operations into a ‘continuum of computing’. As HiPEAC has evolved, so has the HiPEAC Vision: with many domains covered by the HiPEAC community changing rapidly, the HiPEAC Vision is now issued every year, rather than every two years.
This release, the tenth to date, builds on the core ideas developed in the HiPEAC Vision 2023. In particular, it provides an in-depth exploration of the ‘next computing paradigm’ (NCP), which further develops the ‘next web’ concept of the HiPEAC Vision 2023. This ‘next computing paradigm’ merges aspects of the web, the cloud, cyber-physical systems, the internet of things, digital twins, the metaverse and artificial intelligence (AI) into a coherent continuum of computing, intertwining the real world with the cyberworld.
The core themes of the HiPEAC Vision 2024 centre around the dynamic and competitive landscape of technological progress, with a specific focus on this emerging ‘next computing paradigm’. This shift recognizes the rapid evolution in the fields of technology and AI, and the strategic significance that these domains will take in global geopolitics. The document also highlights the intensified competition between leading global powers in technology and AI, emphasizing the implications for Europe. It underscores the need for Europe to seize the opportunities presented by these developments while mitigating risks, such as dependencies on external platforms and resources.
In the HiPEAC Vision 2024, the ‘races’ for leadership outlined in the HiPEAC Vision 2023 are viewed through the lens of NCP. These races include AI, innovative hardware solutions, cybersecurity, sustainability, and digital sovereignty. Given the cross-cutting importance of technological autonomy for Europe, the topic of sovereignty is now woven into the text, feeding directly into the recommendations of this HiPEAC Vision.
Structurally, the HiPEAC Vision 2024 retains the two-part format of previous editions:
A set of recommendations for the HiPEAC community at large, reflecting the shifts and new focus areas, with the NCP as the guiding topic.
A collection of expert articles divided into five key areas, each exploring a specific aspect of the race for technology leadership in the context of the NCP. Each of these five sections takes the position of Europe in that particular area into account. From this analysis, the recommendations are derived.
Readers are encouraged to engage both with this document, outlining the main recommendations, and with the accompanying HiPEAC Vision 2024 Rationale website, which contains the supporting articles, in order to fully understand the conclusions reached.
