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

Paris France, February 16, 2022

Atos currently unveils its new exascale-course supercomputer, the BullSequana XH3000, a hybrid computing platform with unparalleled versatility and overall performance to permit prime experts and scientists to advance exploration in sectors these kinds of as climate forecasting and weather transform, new drug discovery, genomics. Created and made in Europe at its manufacturing facility in Angers, France, this is Atos’ most effective and impressive supercomputer and an important component in securing today’s electronic and financial sovereignty. As the undisputed European chief in supercomputing, Atos plays a key part in addressing sovereignty issues, making sure that crucial HPC know-how and techniques are fostered and stay in Europe.

Empowering digital and economic sovereignty

In purchase to just take comprehensive benefit of their facts even though preserving their capacity to protect it beneath any circumstance, governments, general public bodies and personal providers are now building sovereignty a important concern. With its BullSequana XH3000 and its know-how in sovereign cloud and cybersecurity, Atos is dedicated to delivering its prospects with the indicates to physical exercise greater regulate above the data they generate and trade.

Pushing the boundaries of specialized excellence

• Exascale[1] efficiency with Accelerated Hybrid Computing – today’s increase in the quantity and complexity of facts implies that there is an exponential need to have in phrases of computing ability, in order to deal with the new issues that humanity is experiencing these days this kind of as world-wide warming and the Covid-19 pandemic. The BullSequana XH3000 will be ready to supply unprecedented computing electricity – up to 6x increase in computing electricity than earlier variations – at any scale, up to an exascale-class process by utilizing Hybrid Computing innovative tactics, combining CPUs, GPUs with AI or even in quantum computing components in traditional scientific simulation workflows.
• Greener HPC – harmonizing overall performance & power usage – the BullSequana XH3000 is the 1 of most energy-efficient supercomputers on the sector many thanks to its eco-structure and architecture, patented Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) solution – which will supply in excess of 50% a lot more cooling electrical power than earlier generations – and totally eco-compliant item lifecycle, from uncooked content sourcing and production, to testing and transportation, and disposal/recycling.

“High-performance computing has built monumental contributions to science, engineering and the quality of human lifetime and is a cornerstone of innovation and scientific progress.“ said Earl Joseph, CEO at Hyperion Investigate, HPC market analyst group “As the leading European HPC vendor, Atos is nicely positioned to go on advancing research and innovation with its new supercomputer, and to provide exascale class techniques to its clients. With its new BullSequana XH3000 supercomputer, hybrid computing ecosystem integrating AI and quantum, and its powerful roadmap for exascale, Atos demonstrates a distinct, extensive eyesight of the foreseeable future of scientific simulation, while having into account the great importance of decarbonization.”

“Supercomputing performs a pivotal function in driving innovations for business enterprise, culture, and the world wide financial system as a full and is also important to scientific and financial sovereignty in the 21st century.” explained Rodolphe Belmer, CEO of Atos. “We are exceptionally happy of our role as a leader in HPC and of our new BullSequana supercomputer, discovered now, which benefits from 15 many years of R&D endeavours and delivers jointly Atos’ demonstrated expertise and experience in high-effectiveness computing, AI, quantum, security and electronic decarbonization. It will no doubt allow, by the gateway of exascale, some of the essential scientific and industrial innovation breakthroughs of the long term.”

The BullSequana XH3000 integrates the newest and most-demanding technologies, networks and interconnect and is powered by the hottest CPU and GPU processor and accelerator architectures from AMD, Intel, NVIDIA and ultimately the European microprocessor from SiPearl, for enhanced electricity ability and enhanced efficiency, to offer larger sized scale, more rapidly and extra productive scientific simulations. Its OpenSequana architecture tends to make it entirely suitable with any potential computing blade and interconnect systems, so users can simply scale up as and when wanted. With a stability-by-structure strategy, integrating vulnerability checking and risk anticipation, the BullSequana XH3000 makes certain that details is powerfully secured.

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