EPICURE: High-level Specialised Application Support Service in High-Performance Computing

Epicure - Title Image

EPICURE strengthens support for EuroHPC users through a European-wide application support network

As Europe's supercomputing ecosystem continues to grow, ensuring that researchers and industry users can fully exploit EuroHPC systems has become increasingly important. The EPICURE project addresses this challenge by providing advanced application support services and a centralized support platform for EuroHPC users.

EPICURE offers Level 2 and Level 3 support through a distributed network of Application Support Teams (ASTs). The services include code enabling and scaling, performance analysis, benchmarking, code refactoring, and application optimization, helping users improve the efficiency and scalability of their applications on EuroHPC systems.

 

European HPC Application Support Portal

EPICURE provides the European HPC Application Support Portal, a single point of contact where users can submit support requests, access information about EuroHPC systems, and discover available services. The portal also hosts a growing knowledge base featuring technical how-to guides, best practices, code snippets, and case studies on topics ranging from AI workloads and large-scale application scaling to code profiling and performance optimization.

In addition to direct support, EPICURE contributes to skills development across the European HPC community by organizing free webinars, workshops, hackathons, and training events. Together, these activities help researchers, developers, and companies make more effective use of Europe's world-class supercomputing infrastructure.

 

Delivering impact through application support

Through its Application Support Teams, EPICURE has helped over 130 completed or ongoing projects improve application scalability, optimize performance on CPU and GPU architectures, accelerate AI and scientific workloads, and overcome technical barriers that limit efficient use of EuroHPC systems. With the EPICURE support, projects have been able to, for example, successfully identify bottlenecks and obtain significant speedups on their codes, reduce computational times from days to hours, and maximise their utilization of EuroHPC systems.

The European HPC Application Support Portal includes a section showcasing a selection of EPICURE supported projects and the EPICURE website highlights blog and success stories with more detailed insights into individual support cases.

Users with a valid EuroHPC JU allocation project can apply for support through the European HPC Application Support Portal at https://eurohpcsupport.eu/.
