EU Commits Over €100 Million to Deploy Six Quantum Computers in 2023

Survey respondents cited GPUs as the most anticipated processing element within the next 12-18 months at a rate of 74%. When asked about which processing elements they expect to be incorporated into their HPC/AI/HPDA computing resources, the majority of respondents across all sectors expected GPUs to be first (74.0%) and TPUs (24.3%) as next most anticipated. Government and academia respondents reported the highest expectation at a rate of 84%. This data is from the eighth annual study of Hyperion Research's high-performance computing (HPC) end-user-based tracking of the HPC marketplace. It included 181 HPC end-user sites with 3,830 HPC systems.

During an inaugural ministerial meeting of the U.S.-Japan Economic Policy Consultative Committee (EPCC) in July, a joint statement was presented detailing a renewed and explicit commitment to regional economic stability, fairness, and hardiness. The statement, which includes an action plan, enumerates four main goals: realizing peace and prosperity through rules-based economic order, countering economic coercion and unfair opaque lending practices, promoting and securing critical and emerging technologies and critical infrastructure, and strengthening supply chain resilience. While renewed and steady efforts to maintain regional welfare are an end within themselves, this joint statement takes on an additional layer of complexity and purpose when considered in light of the recent U.S. CHIPS Act, a semiconductor promotion policy whose U.S.-only tone has the potential to cause regional turbulence and heighten international trade tensions.
