HiPEAC’s Vision for a New Cyber Era, a ‘Continuum of Computing’
Earlier this week (Jan. 19), HiPEAC — the European Network on High Performance and Embedded Architecture and Compilation — published the 8th edition of the HiPEAC Vision, detailing an increasingly interconnected computing landscape where complex tasks are carried out across multiple systems and multiple technologies. HiPEAC refers to this as the “Continuum of Computing.”
“We are now seeing a continuum of computing that spans from tiny devices on the edge to huge global-scale distributed systems,” the report notes. “The emergence of new workloads such as deep learning and large-scale industrial cyber-physical systems has led to a series of new challenges related to non-functional properties such as power consumption, timing, complexity, security, safety and sustainability.”
“The 2021 Vision looks at how all the pieces can – and...
