Abstract

This article looks at High Performance Computing (HPC) as playing an essential role within European initiatives that are oriented toward the multifaceted growth of society. After offering a broad definition and presenting the state of the art of HPC, there will be highlighted some important general use cases of this particular technology that bring to light its strengths and valuable potential especially in the context of Industry 4.0. The article then focuses on very specific European HPC initiatives, zooming into the EuroHPC JU program and EuroCC project. The main activities of the Romanian National Center of Competence in HPC will also be described, thus ending the overview with a national view of the HPC landscape within the larger context.
