The document discusses European policies for high performance computing (HPC). It notes that HPC is important for industries, sciences, and addressing societal challenges in Europe. However, Europe faces problems like fragmentation of efforts and reliance on foreign HPC components. The European Commission has proposed several actions to strengthen Europe's HPC capabilities through initiatives like doubling HPC investments, developing the HPC ecosystem, and establishing an EU-wide cloud computing strategy. If these actions are taken, Europe can better compete globally in HPC and in industries that rely on it.
