Paris (France), Prague (Czech Republic), Sofia (Bulgaria) eleven May well 2021

Atos right now announces that Bulgaria’s new EuroHPC supercomputer, which is dependent on Atos’ potent BullSequana XH2000 architecture, is now absolutely sent and assembled at Sofia Tech Park in Bulgaria. Atos was picked to create Bulgaria’s petascale supercomputer by the European Substantial Overall performance Computing Joint Enterprise (EuroHPC JU), the hosting entity, and the consortium “Petascale Supercomputer Bulgaria” (PetaSC-Bulgaria) whose leading companion is Sofia Tech Park.

This will be the most potent supercomputer in Jap Europe and will enable to leverage Bulgaria’s high-tech ambitions. Atos’ Czech Republic task groups have currently began the configuration tests and the supercomputer is anticipated to commence doing the job operationally in July 2021.

The supercomputer will enable make improvements to European scientific investigation and foster innovation by providing entry to state-of-the-art HPC infrastructure and products and services to a huge array of consumers from the scientific investigation community, industry and the general public sector.

It will provide the enhancement of scientific, general public and industrial purposes in lots of fields, including bioinformatics, pharmacy, molecular dynamics and mechanics, quantum chemistry and biochemistry, artificial intelligence, personalized medication, bioengineering, meteorology, and the battle against climate transform.

“We are amazed by the professionalism of the Atos group. The work on the supply and set up of the machine is ahead of schedule. The significant challenge for the Consortium “Petascale Supercomputer – Bulgaria” group is setting up and building a worthwhile link involving the academy, the industry, the Sofia Tech Park, and the petascale pc. In this regard, we converse with the current EuroHPC facilities and have initiated meetings with the academy and industry associates. We currently have the 1st requests for resolving pragmatic tasks in chemistry, medication, and biology. Of class, we are also looking forward to the long term – we are talking with Atos to increase their platform and working experience in quantum computers”, claimed Peter Statev, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Sofia Tech Park.

“As Europe’s leading supercomputing maker, we are proud to be supporting researchers in industry and universities throughout Europe speed up scientific discovery and to create solutions for existing challenges such as individuals in well being, electricity and agriculture. The use of artificial intelligence in investigation has greater the need for far more flexibility and far more versatility in supercomputing, which is precisely what we can give with our BullSequana XH2000 so that our buyers can benefit from the new capacities of hybrid workloads.” claimed 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 investment totaling EUR eleven.5 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, thereby reinforcing Atos’ posture as a European chief in high-effectiveness computing.

31 Atos supercomputers are detailed in the TOP500 around the world supercomputer ranking, with a put together peak effectiveness of 251 petaflops – this is an enhance of 79% in petaflops from the TOP500 listing in June 2020.
