Featured in HiPEACinfo 75, the DARE project represents a major new research and innovation effort supporting the European Union’s strategy to achieve autonomy in strategic hardware technologies. Bringing together 38 partners from 15 countries, DARE focuses on developing chiplets for high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) — designed and implemented in Europe.
In the interview, HiPEAC spoke with Osman Ünsal, DARE’s principal investigator, and Vanessa Iglesias, EU projects innovation manager (both from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center), to learn more about how the project is shaping Europe’s path toward digital sovereignty.
This issue of HiPEACinfo also explores tools and enabling technologies for next-generation computing systems, highlighting AI’s growing influence on software and hardware development, energy-aware operations, and programmability across the compute continuum. It emphasizes European digital autonomy through initiatives such as DARE with RISC-V chiplets, cloud-edge-IoT platforms, and open-source tooling, while showcasing advances in GPU tuning, FPGA AI acceleration, DRAM modeling, power optimization, and secure automotive software.
