"The long-awaited Jupiter system was officially inaugurated on Friday at the Jülich Supercomputing Center near Köln (Cologne) in Germany, and has surpassed the exascale threshold of one quintillion (10¹⁸) operations per second, according to the European Commission. Friday's inauguration was effectively that of Jupiter's Booster module, a GPU cluster intended for handling large-scale simulations and AI training. It comprises roughly 6000 compute nodes, each featuring four of Nvidia's GH200 Grace Hopper superchips, and interconnected using the GPU-flinger's Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking gear as well."
"In attendance were German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, the Federal Minister for Research, Technology, and Space Dorothee Bär, North Rhine-Westphalia's Minister-President Hendrik Wüst, and Minister for Culture and Science Ina Brandes. The Jupiter system had already taken the crown of Europe's most powerful computer system and the worldwide fourth fastest back in June, while its Jedi test module made the top of the Green500 table of the world's most energy-efficient supercomputers a year earlier."
Jupiter's Booster module at the Jülich Supercomputing Center exceeded the exascale threshold of one quintillion operations per second. The Booster is a GPU cluster of roughly 6000 compute nodes, each equipped with four Nvidia GH200 Grace Hopper superchips and linked via Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking. The general-purpose compute cluster remains incomplete and is not expected to be ready before next year. The system earlier became Europe's most powerful and the world's fourth fastest, while its Jedi test module led the Green500 for energy efficiency. High-level officials attended the inauguration, and the system is positioned to bolster European research and AI efforts.
