In this scenario, it is necessary to develop a middleware able to make the system reliable despite the increasing number of resources and the descreasing mean time between failures.<\/p>\n<p>To manage this complexity, the EU Horizon 2020 project RECIPE will provide:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A <strong>hierarchical runtime resource management infrastructure<\/strong> able to optimise energy efficiency and to minimise the occurrence of termal hotspots.
