Abstract
Comfort zone is an artificial mental boundary within which you maintain a sense of security. A couple of years ago, PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe) challenged the technology providers of Europe in proposing new architectures, new concepts and building a High-Performance Computer system mixing old and proven technology with advanced new components. E4 took the challenge and proposed an innovative and uncomfortable approach: DAVIDE. The talk will present the rationale for the technological and architectural choices done for building DAVIDE, the key innovative concepts, the software ecosystems and some preliminary performance.
