UPDATED: The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, which is steering the development and funding for pre-exascale and exascale supercomputing in the European Union, has had a busy week. …
Exascale supercomputing is just as important to Europe as it is to the United States and China, but each of these geopolitical regions on Earth has its own way of developing architectures, funding their development and production, and figuring out where the best HPC centers are to host such machines to maximize their effectiveness. …
There are not many companies left on Earth that can field an exascale-class supercomputer. …
For those who have followed supercomputing over several years, the Bull systems brand is familiar, especially in Europe. …
Supercomputing, with a few exceptions, is a shared resource that is allocated to users in a particular field or geography to run their simulations and models on systems that are much larger than they might otherwise be able to buy on their own. …
Weather forecasting in Europe is going to get a big boost later this year when the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) installs its next-generation supercomputer. …
Good news is continuing to gather around AMD’s second-generation “Rome” Epyc processors. …
The BullSequana line of supercomputers from the Bull division of Atos offers some of the highest compute density available in the HPC realm. …
There are only so many quantum hardware architectures available but as that number grows, the need to understand which processor is best for specific quantum algorithms will be more pressing. …
The European Union has never been willing to cede the exascale computing race to the United States, Japan, or China. …
