The Priority Programme "Software for Exascale Computing" (SPPEXA) of the German Research Foundation (DFG) addresses fundamental research on the various aspects of HPC software, which is particularly urgent against the background that we have entered the era of ubiquitous massive parallelism. SPPEXA started in 2013 and is implemented in two three-year funding phases, with 17 project consortia and more than 40 institutions involved.
Thus,SPPEXA has joined the other national initiatives to pave the road towards exascale computing.
