HIGHER European Heterogeneous Cloud/Edge Infrastructures for Next Generation Hybrid Services

Coordinator: IDRYMA TECHNOLOGIAS KAI EREVNAS (EL)

HIGHER brings together 11 partners from industry and academia to jointly develop and validate open-source designs for high-density rack-scale systems capable of supporting cloud and edge services at scale in standards-based data center environments. Starting with the ARM RHEA2 and RISC-V EPAC processors from EPI and the RISC-V EUPilot processor chip, HIGHER adopts the Open Compute Project (OCP) Server family of standards to build processor modules for computation and acceleration, alongside a system security/control module, all operating with fully-featured operating systems and runtimes.

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €6.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 3 years from 2025-01-01 to 2027-12-31.
