Atos’s supercomputer to pave the way for Bulgaria’s leading position in high-tech

This will be the most effective supercomputer in Jap Europe and is envisioned to be operational in July 2021

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

Atos today announces that Bulgaria’s new EuroHPC supercomputer, which is based on Atos’ effective BullSequana XH2000 architecture, is now entirely shipped and assembled at Sofia Tech Park in Bulgaria. Atos was selected to create Bulgaria’s petascale supercomputer by the European Higher Efficiency Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU), the hosting entity, and the consortium “Petascale Supercomputer Bulgaria” (PetaSC-Bulgaria) whose primary companion is Sofia Tech Park.

This will be the most effective supercomputer in Jap Europe and will assistance to leverage Bulgaria’s substantial-tech ambitions. Atos’ Czech Republic challenge groups have previously commenced the configuration exams and the supercomputer is envisioned to start doing work operationally in July 2021.

The supercomputer will assistance boost European scientific investigate and foster innovation by giving accessibility to point out-of-the-artwork HPC infrastructure and products and services to a large range of end users from the scientific investigate neighborhood, business and the general public sector.atosnewsroom-bulgaria-Eurohpc

It will serve the progress of scientific, general public and industrial apps in numerous fields, together with bioinformatics, pharmacy, molecular dynamics and mechanics, quantum chemistry and biochemistry, artificial intelligence, customized medication, bioengineering, meteorology, and the combat against climate improve.

“We are amazed by the professionalism of the Atos team. The work on the delivery and set up of the device is forward of program. The major challenge for the Consortium “Petascale Supercomputer – Bulgaria” team is building and building a useful relationship between the academy, the business, the Sofia Tech Park, and the petascale laptop. In this regard, we communicate with the existing EuroHPC facilities and have initiated meetings with the academy and business associates. We previously have the first requests for fixing pragmatic responsibilities in chemistry, medication, and biology. Of training course, we are also wanting ahead to the future – we are talking with Atos to include their system and working experience in quantum pcs”, reported Peter Statev, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Sofia Tech Park.

“As Europe’s primary supercomputing producer, we are very pleased to be supporting researchers in business and universities across Europe speed up scientific discovery and to establish solutions for recent difficulties this kind of as those in wellness, strength and agriculture. The use of artificial intelligence in investigate has enhanced the need for far more versatility and far more versatility in supercomputing, which is particularly what we can supply with our BullSequana XH2000 so that our clients can gain from the new capacities of hybrid workloads.” reported 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 investment decision totaling EUR eleven.five million.

In addition to this EuroHPC tender, Atos’ BullSequana will also be made use of in 4 supplemental EuroHPC supercomputing centres CINECA in Italy, IZUM in Slovenia, with LuxProvide in Luxembourg and in the Minho State-of-the-art Computing Centre in Portugal, therefore reinforcing Atos’ situation as a European chief in substantial-performance computing.

31 Atos supercomputers are mentioned in the TOP500 around the globe supercomputer position, with a blended peak performance of 251 petaflops – this is an enhance of seventy nine% in petaflops from the TOP500 listing in June 2020.
