DEEP-EST is an Exascale project funded by the EU Horizon 2020 programme (contract no. ICT-754304), which started in July 2017. The main goal is to develop an energy-efficient system architecture that fits High Performance Computing (HPC) and High Performance Data Analytics (HPDA) workloads, and satisfies the requirements of end-users as well as e-infrastructure operators. To this end, the project partners will build a fully working Modular Supercomputing Architecture (MSA) system prototype made-up of three modules:

the Cluster module (installed at JSC in April 2019),
the Extreme Scale Booster module (to be installed during 2019),
and the Data Analytics module (installed in July 2019).

The prototype system will be hosted at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre. For detailed information about the DEEP-EST project refer to the DEEP projects web pages at www.deep-projects.eu
