HPC AND BIG DATA TECHNOLOGIES FOR GLOBAL CHALLENGES
Exploring synergies between modeling, data acquisition, simulation, data analysis, and visualization.
The Project
HiDALGO2 offers fast and precise simulations addressing global challenges, considering factors like current weather and traffic conditions. The goal is to enhance leading scientific applications in environmental protection for large-scale and precise analysis of threats to human life and health.
By leveraging advanced solutions (HPC, HPDA, AI), HiDALGO2 provides stakeholders with tools to mitigate the impacts of climate and civilisation phenomena, delivering essential knowledge.

Achievements
HiDALGO2 achievement is to provide effective and accurate simulations covering global challenges. The information is provided quickly and considers changing conditions like the current weather and traffic.
Vision
HiDALGO2 vision is to extend the possibilities of the world’s leading scientific applications in the field of environmental protection to effectively analyse phenomena on a large scale and with high precision that threaten human life and health.
Pilots
HiDALGO2 explores synergies between modelling, data acquisition, simulation, data analysis and visualisation along with achieving better scalability on current and future HPC and AI infrastructures to deliver highly-scalable solutions that can effectively utilise pre-exascale systems. The project focuses on four pilots from the environmental area: improving air quality in urban agglomerations, energy efficiency of buildings, renewable energy sources and wildfires.
