Ny europæisk udviklet supercomputer giver kolossale muligheder
Atos annoncerer den næste generation af hybride 'exascale'-klasse af supercomputere, der er udviklet og skal produceres i firmaets enhed i Angers i Frankrig (in english).
Atos has just unveiled its new exascale-class supercomputer, the BullSequana XH3000, a hybrid computing platform with unparalleled flexibility and performance to enable top scientists and researchers to advance research in sectors such as weather forecasting and climate change, new drug discovery, genomics.Designed and manufactured in Europe at its factory in Angers, France, this is Atos’ most efficient and powerful supercomputer and an important element in securing today’s digital and economic sovereignty. As the undisputed European leader in supercomputing, Atos plays a key role in addressing sovereignty issues, ensuring that key HPC knowledge and skills are fostered.
In order to take full advantage of their data while maintaining their ability to protect it under any circumstance, governments, public bodies and private companies are now making sovereignty a major issue. With its BullSequana XH3000 and its expertise in sovereign cloud and cybersecurity, Atos is committed to providing its customers with the means to exercise greater control over the data they produce and exchange.
BullSequana XH3000 offers Exascale performance with Accelerated Hybrid Computing. Today’s increase in the quantity and complexity of data means that there is an exponential need in terms of computing power, in order to tackle the new challenges that humanity is facing today such as global warming and the Covid-19 pandemic.
The BullSequana XH3000 will be able to deliver unprecedented computing power - up to 6x increase in computing power than previous versions - at any scale, up to an exascale-class system by using Hybrid Computing advanced techniques, combining CPUs, GPUs with AI or even in quantum computing hardware in traditional scientific simulation workflows.
It also paves the way for harmonizing performance and energy consumption: The BullSequana XH3000 is the one of most energy-efficient supercomputers on the market thanks to its eco-design and architecture, patented Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) solution - which will provide over 50% more cooling power than previous generations - and fully eco-compliant product lifecycle, from raw material sourcing and manufacturing, to testing and transportation, and disposal/recycling.
