Supercomputer capable of performing 1 quintillion operations per second
Europe wants to enter the race for supercomputing with a project called JUPITER — a machine for exasecala capable of executing more than one exaflop (or 1 quintillion) operations per second. This means that the computing power of the device will exceed 5 million laptops or combined PCs.
This is the idea of the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU), which signed a hosting agreement with the Jülich Supercomputing Center (JSC) in Germanywhere the device will be placed.
The acronym JUPITER stands for “Joint Undertaking Pioneer for Innovative and Transformative Exascale Research”. The device will be installed on the campus of the Forschungszentrum Jülich research institute in 2023.
The exascal calculation refers to a level of supercomputing capable of executing at least one exaflop of computations per second to support operations workloads such as converged modeling, simulation, artificial intelligence and data analysis🇧🇷
Importance
The machine will be used to analyze important societal issues in Europe, such as health, biology, climate, energy, security and materials. The supercomputer will also support intensive artificial intelligence and the analysis of huge volumes of data.
Experts hope the computer will improve the quality of research (reducing costs) and complement future technologies such as quantum computing. The device will be available to a wide range of European users in scientific communityindustry and public sector.
JUPITER will be based on a dynamic and modular supercomputing architecture, which Forschungszentrum Jülich has developed together with European and international partners in projects funded by the European Commission and EuroHPC JU.
In a statement, the company explained that the infrastructure under construction will allow for optimal use of various computing modules during complex simulations.
