Atos delivers its first GPU-accelerated Quantum Learning Machine to the Irish Centre for High-End Computing (ICHEC)

Dublin, Eire and Paris, France – seventeen December 2020

Atos nowadays announces it will supply its first GPU-accelerated Atos Quantum Understanding Equipment Increased (Atos QLM E), the world’s optimum-undertaking commercially readily available quantum simulator, to the Irish Centre for Substantial-Finish Computing (ICHEC).

The Atos QLM E will be built-in with the Irish national supercomputer ‘Kay’ and equipped with a wide range of quantum computer software programming applications. As a hybrid HPC-Quantum Computing ecosystem, the built-in Kay-Atos QLM E platform will provide the Quantum Programming Eire (QPI) Initiative for conducting R&D and national-amount capabilities progress pursuits in quantum technologies by ICHEC as effectively as other Irish companies in tutorial, business and general public sector.

Providing up to twelve situations much more computation speed than the authentic Atos QLM, the Atos QLM E is also an integral ingredient of the ‘NEASQC’ challenge, in the €1 bn European flagship quantum initiative, of which Eire is a companion along with eleven other European organizations and investigation labs, and coordinated by Atos.

As soon as the Atos QLM E is shipped on-premise, Atos will give a quick-monitor coaching system and keep on to improve the method throughout its life span to make certain that it delivers the functionality demanded in this quick-moving discipline of quantum computing.

Prof. Jean-Christophe (“JC”) Desplat, Director at ICHEC, mentioned: “As Ireland’s high overall performance computing authority, we’re committed to using the energy of technological know-how to resolve some of the hardest difficulties across general public, tutorial and business sectors. Doing work with a selection of associates across Europe, we glance forward to utilizing the Atos QLM E associated for R&D on a selection of scientific and marketplace-related quantum computing use-cases and supporting scientific breakthroughs in high-overall performance computing.”

Agnès Boudot, Senior Vice President, Head of HPC & Quantum at Atos, mentioned: “As the first Atos QLM E deployed globally, this partnership marks an crucial milestone in our Quantum Software. We glance forward to supporting ICHEC on their quantum journey, encouraging them investigate with their customers the substantial likely that quantum computing gives. The solution will give a scalable, long term-proof, national framework for the porting of hybrid applications, and for the coaching and capabilities progress of Irish researchers, and ICHEC’s associates across Europe.”

Atos QLM E has been optimized to significantly decrease the simulation time of hybrid classical-quantum algorithms simulations, major to quicker progress in software investigation.

Atos, a pioneer in quantum

In 2016, Atos released ‘Atos Quantum’ an bold system to foresee the long term of quantum computing. As a final result of this initiative, Atos was the first corporation to supply a quantum noise simulation module in its Atos QLM supply. Atos QLM is remaining made use of in a lot of international locations around the globe including Austria, Finland, France, Germany, India,  Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Senegal, UK and the United States, empowering major investigation plans in numerous sectors like marketplace or vitality. Not too long ago, Atos introduced “Q-score”, the first universal quantum metrics reference, applicable to all programmable quantum processors.
