Paris (France), Prague (Czech Republic), Sofia (Bulgaria) eleven May 2021
Atos currently announces that Bulgaria’s new EuroHPC supercomputer, which is based on Atos’ potent BullSequana XH2000 architecture, is now entirely sent and assembled at Sofia Tech Park in Bulgaria. Atos was selected to build Bulgaria’s petascale supercomputer by the European Higher General performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU), the hosting entity, and the consortium “Petascale Supercomputer Bulgaria” (PetaSC-Bulgaria) whose foremost husband or wife is Sofia Tech Park.
This will be the most potent supercomputer in Eastern Europe and will support to leverage Bulgaria’s large-tech ambitions. Atos’ Czech Republic task teams have presently started out the configuration exams and the supercomputer is predicted to start off working operationally in July 2021.
The supercomputer will support enhance European scientific exploration and foster innovation by furnishing access to state-of-the-artwork HPC infrastructure and products and services to a large vary of customers from the scientific exploration local community, sector and the general public sector.
It will serve the advancement of scientific, general public and industrial programs in quite a few fields, including bioinformatics, pharmacy, molecular dynamics and mechanics, quantum chemistry and biochemistry, synthetic intelligence, personalised medication, bioengineering, meteorology, and the fight from local climate improve.
“We are amazed by the professionalism of the Atos staff. The function on the delivery and installation of the machine is forward of program. The huge problem for the Consortium “Petascale Supercomputer – Bulgaria” staff is making and earning a useful connection involving the academy, the sector, the Sofia Tech Park, and the petascale laptop or computer. In this regard, we talk with the current EuroHPC facilities and have initiated meetings with the academy and sector representatives. We presently have the initial requests for fixing pragmatic tasks in chemistry, medication, and biology. Of system, we are also wanting ahead to the future – we are talking with Atos to include their platform and knowledge in quantum computers”, explained Peter Statev, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Sofia Tech Park.
“As Europe’s foremost supercomputing company, we are proud to be supporting scientists in sector and universities across Europe accelerate scientific discovery and to establish remedies for recent issues these as those in wellbeing, electrical power and agriculture. The use of synthetic intelligence in exploration has improved the require for much more versatility and much more flexibility in supercomputing, which is precisely what we can give with our BullSequana XH2000 so that our buyers can advantage from the new capacities of hybrid workloads.” explained Agnès Boudot, Senior Vice President, Head of HPC & Quantum at Atos.
The supercomputer is co-financed by the Republic of Bulgaria and EuroHPC JU with a joint financial commitment totaling EUR eleven.five million.
In addition to this EuroHPC tender, Atos’ BullSequana will also be used in 4 supplemental EuroHPC supercomputing centres CINECA in Italy, IZUM in Slovenia, with LuxProvide in Luxembourg and in the Minho Superior Computing Centre in Portugal, thus reinforcing Atos’ situation as a European leader in large-efficiency computing.
31 Atos supercomputers are outlined in the TOP500 worldwide supercomputer rating, with a put together peak efficiency of 251 petaflops – this is an enhance of seventy nine% in petaflops from the TOP500 listing in June 2020.
