Designed by French Atos, Jupiter must allow the European Union to complete its delay in the A A a proposing tools on climate and the Research.
The Eope inaugurates on Friday in Allenagne Jupiter, son first giant and ultra-fast orninener, intended to comble son delay in artificial intigance, and to strengthen the Scientific Research, in particular on the climate. Based in the commune of Jülich, west of Cologne, Jupiter is the first exascal « supercomputer » of the old, capable of effusion at least one quintillion of calculations per second, and billion billion. The United States already has three machines of this, all exploited by the Department of Energy.
Jupiter occupies an area of nearly 3,600 square mothers – about half of Unt (Site notre blog d’information) – with rows of processors and around 24,000 chips of American engineering Nvidia, prized by the USTRIE of artificial itelligence. The supercomputer, drawn up by the French group Atos for a budget of 500 million, financed equally by the European Union and the Alentagne, is the exascale ornineur of Eurme, and the fourth in the worlds.
Its colossal computing power presents « today what is most powerful in the world of orders which allow to make calculation », commentary Emmanuel Le Roux, leader of the ampanty of Astos IT. He reprints a « leap forward the performance of the calculation in Europe », abounds Thomas Lippert, saying of the Jülich Center, adding that the machine is twenty times more powerful than any other ordinaisur in Allenagne.
Europe in the face of Montiaux competitors on the AA
Jupiter is the first supercalculeur that can be considered competitive in the Intraso Models of AR Europe, which accuses a delay compared to the United States and China, according to Thomas Lippert. According to and the agricultural report published this year, the American institutions at protected in 2024 40 models of « notable » EA, that is to say influential, contrasts China and three for the EUR.
Also, the new system is « very significant » pays European efforts Dance The Entry of AA models, assures Jose Maria that, researcher at the Super Computing Center in Barcelona.
« The performance of ONENE to depend depending on the calculation power of the ultitile Ardinininur, » he said, adding that the EURM suffers from a « deficit » of this size systems.
Jupiter thus provides the computing power necessary to effectively cause large models (LLM) producing enormous volumes of texts and used generative chatbots Com Chatt or Gemini. However, because of his numberus NVIDIA chips, Jupiter residue continent of the inmate of American technology, and this while the subjects of discord between the United States and the Multiplied EURME.
Concept designer models
Researchers also want employer Jupiter to create climatic forecasts plus detaisses and in the long term, in order to attract extreme phenomena with more precision as heat waves.
« With today’s weather models, on can simulate climate developments in 10 years.
The machine will also be able to help the Research on the energy transition, by exemplary simulating air flows around wind turbines optimize their concept. In health, it is used to simulate brain processes more realistically, for the development of drugs to counter diseases like Alzheimer.
