Probably the most highly effective AI processing supercomputer on the planet is about to be in-built Germany, and deliberate to turn out to be operational inside a mere 12 months. Crikey.
AI processing can take an enormous quantity of computing energy, however by the seems to be of this newest joint undertaking from the Jülich Supercomputing Middle and French computing supplier Eviden, energy is not going to be in brief provide. The 2 corporations have signed a deal to construct a brand new knowledge centre to deal with an exascale-class supercomputer that they are saying will likely be able to performing one quintillion floating-point operations per second, or one exaFLOPS in HPC (excessive efficiency computing) output.
The JUPITER supercomputer (in case you’re questioning, the Joint Enterprise Pioneer for Revolutionary and Transformative Exascale Analysis, which as backronyms go is spectacular) was commissioned by Europe’s supercomputer consortium, EuroHPC JU, (by way of Techspot) in October 2023, and the primary of three deliberate to be constructed will likely be contained within the new facility in Germany, with plans to be operational inside a 12 months.
