Europe's Fastest Supercomputer To Boost AI Drive
- Europe will officially launch Jupiter, its quickest exascale supercomputer, on Friday at the research facility located in Juelich, Germany.
- Jupiter was developed by a consortium including Eviden and German group ParTec to address Europe's lagging AI capabilities compared to the US and China.
- The system, powered by about 24,000 Nvidia chips, will support AI training and long-term climate forecasting, as well as research like brain process simulation and drug development.
- According to Thomas Lippert, Jupiter is capable of performing over one quintillion calculations per second, consumes approximately 11 megawatts of power, and operates at a level of performance that surpasses all other German computers by a factor of twenty.
- The inauguration marks a key step for Europe to enhance scientific research, energy transition studies, and AI competitiveness despite reliance on US technology and souring US-Europe relations.
