Atos unveils new exascale-class BullSequana supercomputer, for digital and economic sovereignty

Paris France, February 16, 2022

Atos today unveils its new exascale-course supercomputer, the BullSequana XH3000, a hybrid computing platform with unparalleled versatility and overall performance to allow prime researchers and researchers to progress research in sectors these as weather forecasting and climate transform, new drug discovery, genomics. Designed and made in Europe at its manufacturing facility in Angers, France, this is Atos’ most effective and potent supercomputer and an vital ingredient in securing today’s electronic and economic sovereignty. As the undisputed European leader in supercomputing, Atos plays a critical job in addressing sovereignty challenges, guaranteeing that vital HPC expertise and skills are fostered and remain in Europe.

Empowering electronic and financial sovereignty

In get to get total edge of their information although preserving their capacity to secure it under any circumstance, governments, community bodies and non-public providers are now producing sovereignty a important challenge. With its BullSequana XH3000 and its skills in sovereign cloud and cybersecurity, Atos is dedicated to offering its clients with the indicates to physical exercise greater control more than the knowledge they develop and exchange.

Pushing the boundaries of complex excellence

• Exascale[1] efficiency with Accelerated Hybrid Computing – today’s boost in the quantity and complexity of data implies that there is an exponential need in terms of computing electricity, in purchase to deal with the new worries that humanity is dealing with right now this sort of as world wide warming and the Covid-19 pandemic. The BullSequana XH3000 will be capable to deliver unprecedented computing electrical power – up to 6x improve in computing electricity than preceding variations – at any scale, up to an exascale-class process by applying Hybrid Computing advanced strategies, combining CPUs, GPUs with AI or even in quantum computing hardware in traditional scientific simulation workflows.
• Greener HPC – harmonizing overall performance & energy intake – the BullSequana XH3000 is the one particular of most power-effective supercomputers on the market many thanks to its eco-design and style and architecture, patented Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) answer – which will deliver over 50% a lot more cooling ability than prior generations – and thoroughly eco-compliant item lifecycle, from raw product sourcing and manufacturing, to screening and transportation, and disposal/recycling.

“High-general performance computing has designed monumental contributions to science, engineering and the high-quality of human existence and is a cornerstone of innovation and scientific progress.“ said Earl Joseph, CEO at Hyperion Exploration, HPC business analyst team “As the main European HPC vendor, Atos is effectively positioned to go on advancing research and innovation with its new supercomputer, and to carry exascale class techniques to its shoppers. With its new BullSequana XH3000 supercomputer, hybrid computing ecosystem integrating AI and quantum, and its robust roadmap for exascale, Atos demonstrates a apparent, detailed vision of the upcoming of scientific simulation, while taking into account the worth of decarbonization.”

“Supercomputing plays a pivotal role in driving innovations for business, modern society, and the world wide financial system as a total and is also important to scientific and economic sovereignty in the 21st century.” mentioned Rodolphe Belmer, CEO of Atos. “We are very very pleased of our role as a leader in HPC and of our new BullSequana supercomputer, disclosed today, which final results from 15 years of R&D attempts and provides jointly Atos’ verified know-how and encounter in large-efficiency computing, AI, quantum, security and digital decarbonization. It will no doubt empower, through the gateway of exascale, some of the vital scientific and industrial innovation breakthroughs of the potential.”

The BullSequana XH3000 integrates the most recent and most-demanding technologies, networks and interconnect and is driven by the hottest CPU and GPU processor and accelerator architectures from AMD, Intel, NVIDIA and finally the European microprocessor from SiPearl, for improved electric power potential and improved efficiency, to deliver more substantial scale, speedier and extra successful scientific simulations. Its OpenSequana architecture makes it totally suitable with any foreseeable future computing blade and interconnect systems, so buyers can quickly scale up as and when desired. With a protection-by-design and style solution, integrating vulnerability checking and risk anticipation, the BullSequana XH3000 makes sure that information is powerfully protected.

The BullSequana XH3000 is prepared to be obtainable from Q4 2022.
