Centered on Atos’ BullSequana XH2000, the ‘Vega’ supercomputer was inaugurated at the Institute of Facts Science (IZUM) in Slovenia
Maribor (Slovenia), Paris (France) April 21, 2021
Atos and the Institute of Facts Science (IZUM) in Maribor, Slovenia, right now announce that the to start with EuroHPC supercomputer is now operational. This is the ‘Vega’ supercomputer, primarily based on Atos’ BullSequana XH2000 architecture, which is now installed following a start-up ceremony hosted by IZUM with the Prime Minister of the Republic of Slovenia, Janez Janša, in attendance, with each other with the Govt Vice-President of the European Fee Margrethe Vestager, the Minister of Training, Science and Sport Dr. Simona Kustec and the Govt Director of EuroHPC Joint Enterprise Anders Dam Jensen.
Vega, the largest supercomputer in the place, is primarily based at IZUM, a general public infrastructural establishment and research business established by the Federal government of the Republic of Slovenia. It will be applied to assistance the development of major scientific, general public sector and industrial applications in quite a few domains, which include personalized medicine, bio-engineering, weather forecasting, struggle versus local climate adjust and discovering new products and medicines.
It will present scientists from Slovenia and the EuroHPC community with a contemporary infrastructure offering greatest performance for computing, data processing, large-performance data evaluation (HPDA), Synthetic Intelligence (AI) and Equipment Discovering design development with quickly community connectivity to other computing facilities in Slovenia and Europe.
Dr. Aleš Bošnjak, Director of IZUM: “We’re delighted to announce the start-up of the to start with EuroHPC supercomputer below in Slovenia. Now we can generate ahead our research and innovation assignments, in distinct our HPC RIVR undertaking style ambitions, supporting Slovenian and European scientists and buyers from the general public and industry sectors, to fulfill new troubles and even more contribute to the regional and European HPC initiatives.”
Named Vega, following Slovenian mathematician Jurij Vega, the new petascale supercomputer will be co-owned and jointly operated by the EuroHPC JU (The European High-General performance Computing Joint Enterprise). Able of executing more than 6,8 petaflops (6,8 million billion calculations for every second), the technique will be amongst the world’s leading 5 supercomputers.
Agnes Boudot, Senior Vice President, Head of HPC & Quantum at Atos concluded “As the major European supercomputer company, we are proud to be contributing toward advancing research and innovation in Slovenia and in Europe. ‘Vega’, as section of the EuroHPC method and community, is section of a European worldclass supercomputing ecosystem and will assist Europe compete globally in strategic domains such as artificial intelligence, bio-engineering and the struggle versus local climate adjust.”
Atos was awarded a 5-12 months €17.three million euro agreement to offer, set up and manage the BullSequana XH2000 ‘Vega’ supercomputer.
