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 system with unparalleled overall flexibility and overall performance to help leading experts and researchers to advance investigate in sectors such as weather conditions forecasting and weather alter, new drug discovery, genomics. Made and manufactured in Europe at its manufacturing unit in Angers, France, this is Atos’ most efficient and effective supercomputer and an critical component in securing today’s electronic and economic sovereignty. As the undisputed European leader in supercomputing, Atos plays a critical role in addressing sovereignty challenges, making sure that critical HPC information and skills are fostered and keep on being in Europe.

Empowering digital and financial sovereignty

In purchase to take full advantage of their details whilst preserving their ability to guard it underneath any circumstance, governments, general public bodies and personal firms are now earning sovereignty a key issue. With its BullSequana XH3000 and its knowledge in sovereign cloud and cybersecurity, Atos is committed to providing its shoppers with the usually means to exercise higher manage over the knowledge they develop and exchange.

Pushing the boundaries of complex excellence

• Exascale[1] effectiveness with Accelerated Hybrid Computing – today’s boost in the quantity and complexity of details suggests that there is an exponential require in terms of computing power, in buy to deal with the new issues that humanity is dealing with nowadays these as world warming and the Covid-19 pandemic. The BullSequana XH3000 will be capable to provide unprecedented computing energy – up to 6x raise in computing power than past variations – at any scale, up to an exascale-class program by using Hybrid Computing highly developed procedures, combining CPUs, GPUs with AI or even in quantum computing components in conventional scientific simulation workflows.
• Greener HPC – harmonizing efficiency & electricity usage – the BullSequana XH3000 is the just one of most electricity-successful supercomputers on the current market many thanks to its eco-layout and architecture, patented Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) option – which will present in excess of 50% much more cooling electric power than prior generations – and thoroughly eco-compliant merchandise lifecycle, from raw product sourcing and producing, to testing and transportation, and disposal/recycling.

“High-effectiveness computing has designed monumental contributions to science, engineering and the high-quality of human lifestyle and is a cornerstone of innovation and scientific progress.“ mentioned Earl Joseph, CEO at Hyperion Investigation, HPC sector analyst group “As the top European HPC vendor, Atos is well positioned to carry on advancing investigate and innovation with its new supercomputer, and to deliver exascale class techniques to its clients. With its new BullSequana XH3000 supercomputer, hybrid computing ecosystem integrating AI and quantum, and its solid roadmap for exascale, Atos demonstrates a distinct, complete eyesight of the upcoming of scientific simulation, while taking into account the significance of decarbonization.”

“Supercomputing plays a pivotal job in driving innovations for enterprise, modern society, and the world-wide economy as a full and is also key to scientific and economic sovereignty in the 21st century.” reported Rodolphe Belmer, CEO of Atos. “We are extremely very pleased of our position as a leader in HPC and of our new BullSequana supercomputer, revealed right now, which effects from 15 a long time of R&D initiatives and brings collectively Atos’ verified abilities and encounter in high-efficiency computing, AI, quantum, protection and digital decarbonization. It will no doubt enable, through the gateway of exascale, some of the important scientific and industrial innovation breakthroughs of the long term.”

The BullSequana XH3000 integrates the most recent and most-demanding systems, networks and interconnect and is run by the most recent CPU and GPU processor and accelerator architectures from AMD, Intel, NVIDIA and finally the European microprocessor from SiPearl, for improved power ability and increased general performance, to offer larger scale, more rapidly and extra efficient scientific simulations. Its OpenSequana architecture will make it fully appropriate with any long run computing blade and interconnect systems, so people can effortlessly scale up as and when required. With a security-by-structure method, integrating vulnerability monitoring and menace anticipation, the BullSequana XH3000 makes certain that knowledge is powerfully guarded.

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