With 44.1 petaflops JUWELS is officially the fastest supercomputing system in EuropeParis, November 17, 2020 – Atos, a global leader in digital transformation, today announces that the supercomputing system at Forschungszentrum Jülich, named JUWELS, based on Atos’ innovative BullSequana XH2000 platform, is today officially the fastest supercomputing system in Europe with a sustained peak performance of 44.1 HPL petaflops. It ranks #7 on the TOP500 and #5 on HPCG rankings. It is the most energy-efficient supercomputing system in the TOP100 and ranks #3 on the Green500.Highest energy-efficiency
Today JUWELS is the most energy-efficient supercomputer in its class worldwide, ranking in first place for energy-efficiency on the TOP100 list, thanks to Atos’ patented DLC (Direct Liquid Cooling) solution, which minimizes global energy consumption by using warm water up to 40°C. JUWELS ranks alongside 30 other Atos supercomputers on this November’s Green500, underlining Atos’ commitment to support its clients in their decarbonization objectives.Faster & Smarter – prepared for exascale
Atos worked with Jülich and German HPC-software specialist ParTec to extend its existing JUWELS supercomputer system with a highly scalable booster module. Now operational, this module massively expands the application limits of HPC simulations, enabling JUWELS to handle much more demanding computing tasks and data analysis from science and industry than has previously been possible in Europe. It also makes JUWELS the strongest platform in Europe for the use of artificial intelligence (AI). “We believe JUWELS is a milestone towards the European exascale computer, scheduled to be launched in 2023.” explains Prof. Thomas Lippert, Head of the Jülich Supercomputing Centre. “Now with our fully developed modular JUWELS system, our scientists are able to take a big step forward in many areas, while researchers and engineers from industry can stay ahead of the competition.”“This year at SC’20 we’re highlighting how Atos is enabling Faster Smarter and Greener simulation and the JUWELS supercomputing system is a prime example of all three of these.  It has been fantastic to work with Jülich and its partners to deliver this enhanced performance and power to drive unparalleled research and innovation in Europe” said Agnès Boudot, Senior Vice President, Head of HPC & Quantum at Atos “Our A100 Tensor Core GPUs featured in this booster module are based on our NVIDIA Ampere architecture, a groundbreaking engineering achievement that delivers a massive performance improvement over the previous generation for AI training and inference.” said Ian Buck, General Manager and Vice President of Accelerated Computing at Nvidia “This data center-scale platform with accelerated computing and Mellanox HDR InfiniBand networking empowers researchers at Julich to hit the ground running for the development and deployment of accelerated data analytics, HPC, and AI to tackle the challenges of the exascale AI era.”JUWELS will be used in research related to the climate, the environment, sustainable energy management and the properties of materials or brain research. The booster module is based on Atos’ BullSequana X2415 blade which features NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs, NVIDIA Mellanox HDR 200Gb/s InfiniBand high-performance network, and AMD central processing units.
