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

Paris France, February 16, 2022

Atos right now unveils its new exascale-course supercomputer, the BullSequana XH3000, a hybrid computing system with unparalleled adaptability and efficiency to allow best scientists and scientists to advance investigate in sectors these types of as temperature forecasting and local weather transform, new drug discovery, genomics. Designed and produced in Europe at its manufacturing unit in Angers, France, this is Atos’ most effective and powerful supercomputer and an crucial ingredient in securing today’s digital and financial sovereignty. As the undisputed European leader in supercomputing, Atos performs a key position in addressing sovereignty issues, ensuring that vital HPC knowledge and abilities are fostered and keep on being in Europe.

Empowering digital and financial sovereignty

In order to choose whole gain of their knowledge when preserving their capability to protect it underneath any circumstance, governments, public bodies and private providers are now generating sovereignty a main problem. With its BullSequana XH3000 and its abilities in sovereign cloud and cybersecurity, Atos is dedicated to furnishing its shoppers with the implies to exercising higher handle in excess of the facts they make and trade.

Pushing the boundaries of technological excellence

• Exascale[1] performance with Accelerated Hybrid Computing – today’s enhance in the amount and complexity of information signifies that there is an exponential require in terms of computing ability, in purchase to tackle the new worries that humanity is experiencing these days this kind of as global warming and the Covid-19 pandemic. The BullSequana XH3000 will be ready to supply unparalleled computing electric power – up to 6x boost in computing electrical power than preceding variations – at any scale, up to an exascale-class process by making use of Hybrid Computing superior tactics, combining CPUs, GPUs with AI or even in quantum computing hardware in conventional scientific simulation workflows.
• Greener HPC – harmonizing efficiency & strength consumption – the BullSequana XH3000 is the a single of most electrical power-economical supercomputers on the industry many thanks to its eco-layout and architecture, patented Immediate Liquid Cooling (DLC) resolution – which will offer about 50% extra cooling electrical power than earlier generations – and totally eco-compliant product or service lifecycle, from raw material sourcing and production, to screening and transportation, and disposal/recycling.

“High-performance computing has built great 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 market analyst team “As the major European HPC seller, Atos is well positioned to continue on advancing study and innovation with its new supercomputer, and to bring exascale course techniques to its consumers. With its new BullSequana XH3000 supercomputer, hybrid computing ecosystem integrating AI and quantum, and its powerful roadmap for exascale, Atos demonstrates a obvious, extensive eyesight of the long term of scientific simulation, when having into account the significance of decarbonization.”

“Supercomputing plays a pivotal position in driving improvements for business enterprise, society, and the world financial system as a whole and is also critical to scientific and financial sovereignty in the 21st century.” explained Rodolphe Belmer, CEO of Atos. “We are very happy of our role as a chief in HPC and of our new BullSequana supercomputer, revealed right now, which final results from 15 a long time of R&D endeavours and provides alongside one another Atos’ tested experience and encounter in high-effectiveness computing, AI, quantum, security and electronic decarbonization. It will no question allow, through the gateway of exascale, some of the key scientific and industrial innovation breakthroughs of the long term.”

The BullSequana XH3000 integrates the most current and most-demanding systems, networks and interconnect and is powered by the most up-to-date CPU and GPU processor and accelerator architectures from AMD, Intel, NVIDIA and finally the European microprocessor from SiPearl, for enhanced electric power capability and improved overall performance, to deliver much larger scale, more rapidly and much more successful scientific simulations. Its OpenSequana architecture tends to make it totally compatible with any future computing blade and interconnect systems, so users can quickly scale up as and when essential. With a protection-by-design and style method, integrating vulnerability monitoring and danger anticipation, the BullSequana XH3000 makes sure that facts is powerfully protected.

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