Creating the next generation of processors
Based on open source and highly adaptable tools
DARE (Digital Autonomy with RISC-V in Europe) is a groundbreaking initiative driving Europe’s independence in high-performance computing and AI. By leveraging open-source technologies, DARE is developing cutting-edge chiplet processors — the essential building blocks for next-generation supercomputers. This effort is a critical first phase in a long-term plan to ensure secure, efficient, and scalable computing solutions tailored to European needs.
A step forward for European digital capabilities
Strengthening research, industry and innovation
Supercomputing and AI are critical for scientific discovery, industry, and public services—yet Europe remains largely dependent on foreign technology. DARE addresses this gap by developing homegrown computing solutions, aimed at reinforcing Europe’s technological sovereignty. By fostering a self-sufficient ecosystem, DARE seeks to enhance Europe’s standing in the global tech landscape, enabling its institutions and industries to thrive autonomously.

Meet the DARE consortium and partners
Coordinated by Barcelona Supercomputing Center, this EuroHPC-supported project gathers 38 partners together to design and develop the RISC-V-based chiplets. DARE counts with a wide range of profiles, from research to industry and academic institutions, that will help ensure the efficiency, applicability and cost-effectiveness of the technologies developed.
