JUPITER Booster, said to be Europe’s most powerful super computer, is inaugurated in the Jülich Supercomputing Centre, Germany
JUPITER Boost, a supercomputer said to be the most powerful in Europe, has been inaugurated at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre in Germany today.
The Eviden-built AI-dedicated module of JUPITER claims to be the first in Europe to surpass the threshold of one quintillion calculations per second. The supercomputer will have the equivalent power of 10 million desktop computers.
JUPITER is designed to help improve predictions of extreme weather forecasts and accelerate breakthroughs in climate science, AI and other areas.
“JUPITER marks the culmination of more than a decade of research and development,” says Thomas Lippert, Director at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre. “As the world’s most advanced and versatile exascale system, it represents a unique innovation, opening up completely new possibilities for science and industry in Europe.”
Housed in a 3,600m² centre, JUPITER contains around 24,000 NVIDIA chips - frequently used in AI.
“With JUPITER, Europe gains its most advanced AI supercomputer, built for large-scale simulation and AI, powered by NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchips and Quantum-2 InfiniBand,” adds Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO at NVIDIA.
“JUPITER fuses high-performance computing and AI into a single architecture. A platform for next-generation scientific computing, it will accelerate breakthroughs across every domain — from modeling climate and renewable energy to advancing quantum research, designing new materials and building digital twins.”
