Ghent, Belgium, 12 December 2024 – With compute demands growing to meet the insatiable appetite of AI applications, the 2024 cohort of HiPEAC Technology Transfer Award winners show how the HiPEAC (High Performance, Edge and Cloud computing) community is transforming the latest research into solutions fit for the most intense computing requirements.
From an advanced framework that enhances large language models’ reasoning, to dynamic compilation, to scalable network and memory solutions, the winning technologies will help power the next generation of high-performance AI applications. Other winning tools help users identify the best hardware fit for their AI model, program with real-time requirements, undertake pan-genomic analysis, and power avatars for sign language.
This year, all award winners will be recognized during a ceremony at the HiPEAC conference in Barcelona, Monday-Wednesday, Jan. 20-22. First-time award winners also receive a cash prize of €1,000.
“The influence of AI and machine learning is unmistakeable in these winning projects,” says HiPEAC coordinator Koen De Bosschere (Ghent University). “It’s clear that the European research community is tackling the AI challenge head-on with powerful solutions for industrial and societal challenges.”
The HiPEAC Technology Transfer Awards were launched in 2012 with the aim of encouraging members to transform their research outputs into industry-ready results. To date, 95 awards have been granted.
This year’s eight award-winning candidates are as follows:
- Graph of Thoughts: Solving elaborate problems with large language models – Maciej Besta, ETH Zürich, Switzerland, Germany
- Roofline AI – Jan Moritz Joseph, Roofline GmbH, Germany
- GenoGra: Pangenomic analysis platform – Marco Santambrogio, Politecnico di Milano, Italy
- FAiNDER: FAiND the best hardware for your Al application – Petar Radojković, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain
- Interconnection network and memory subsystem IPs for high-performance, scalable SoC solutions – Madhavan Manivannan, InfiniNode Technologies AB, Sweden

Funded by the European Commission, HiPEAC is the premier focal point for networking, dissemination and training activities in Europe for researchers, industry, and policy related to computing systems. First established in 2004, the project is now in its seventh edition. Today, its network, the biggest of its kind in Europe, numbers over 2,000 specialists.
The latest incarnation of the project, HiPEAC7, began on 1 December 2022 and is delivered by 11 partners led by Ghent University. It focuses on networking and roadmapping activities: bringing the computing community together in Europe, exchanging ideas, building thriving European value chains and exploring the long-term vision for computing systems in coordination with other major stakeholders.
