Euronaval is one of the largest exhibitions of maritime security and naval defense. It takes place every two years in Paris, France, and this year it will host 480 exhibitors from 33 countries. EPI's partner Provenrun will exhibit and also offer news on the EPI developments to its attendees.

2020 Third International Symposium on Signal and Image Processing (ISSIP 2020) is aimed to foster the field of signal and image processing encompassing the theory and practice of algorithms and hardware that convert signals produced by artificial or natural means into a form useful for a specific purpose. EPI's CCO, Mario Kovač, will hold a keynote session titled "European Processor Initiative: Europe’s Industrial Technology Cornerstone for the Exascale Era".

Jesus Labarta from BSC will attend the Open Source Summit and give a keynote there. The talk will describe how EPI aims at developing European processor technology for HPC and emerging application areas. Beyond leveraging Arm technology, an important objective of the project is to develop a fully owned implementation of a generic accelerator based on the RISC-V vector extension ISA. The goal of this talk is to describe the fundamental vision behind the design of such an accelerator and its architectural features. Jesus Labarta will report on the implementation status of the first version of the microarchitecture and will also present the software development vehicle (SDV) frameworks used to steer a holistic co-design approach including operating system and overall system software developments to homogenize the heterogeneous combination of different cores in the overall platform.
