Summary is AI-generated, newsdesk-reviewed
  • Eviden's JUPITER ranks 4th globally, 1st in Europe as a powerful, exascale supercomputer.
  • JUPITER leads Green500 as the world's most energy-efficient exascale-class supercomputer.
  • Eviden's supercomputers top Green500, redefining sustainable performance in high-performance computing.

Eviden, part of the Atos Group, has announced the rankings for its 58 supercomputers featured in the TOP500 and Green500 lists, which detail the world's most powerful and energy-efficient supercomputers, respectively.

Notably, JUPITER, an Eviden-built system, maintains its position as the fourth most powerful supercomputer globally and Europe’s pioneering system. 

It marks a historic moment as Europe’s first computer to surpass the ExaFlop threshold, delivering one billion billion calculations per second.

Europe's Exascale Milestone

JUPITER is recognized for setting a new standard as Europe's first exascale computer.

This remarkable feat was achieved in collaboration with the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) and EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU), aiming to advance AI and large-scale simulations across diverse fields such as climate science, energy research, medicine, and materials science. 

Since its inception, JUPITER has facilitated over 100 projects, including simulating a 50-qubit quantum computer and modeling the entire Earth system at high resolution.

Energy Efficiency Leader

JUPITER is not only notable for its processing power but also for its energy efficiency

JUPITER is not only notable for its processing power but also for its energy efficiency. Ranked fourth in the TOP500 and first in Europe, it is acclaimed as the most energy-efficient supercomputer among exascale-class systems, according to the Green500 list.

Its Booster partition showcases a performance ratio of 63 GigaFlops per watt, effectively setting global standards for energy-efficient design in high-performance computing.

JUPITER's contribution extends to the JUPITER AI Factory, which will soon facilitate secure AI model access for research, start-ups, and industry advancements.

Sustainable Computing Leadership

Eviden’s prowess in sustainable computing is further highlighted by occupying the top three spots in the Green500 ranking, showcasing its systems KAIROS (#1 at 73 GFlops/Watt), ROMEO (#2 at 70 GFlops/Watt), and Levante GPU extension (#3 at 69 GFlops/Watt).

These rankings underscore Eviden’s emphasis on reducing energy consumption and operational costs by maximizing GFlops per Watt—a measure of efficiency in computational performance per unit energy.

A Commitment to Innovation

Eviden's advancements are attributed to its patented innovations like the fifth-generation Direct Liquid Cooling system and its real-time energy optimization software, Argos. As AI and high-performance computing (HPC) demands grow, Eviden sets the benchmark for sustainable development in the sector.

Bruno Lecointe, VP, global head of HPC, HPC-AI, and Quantum Computing at Eviden, commented, “Breaking the symbolic 1 ExaFlop ceiling, building the most energy-efficient Exascale supercomputer and leading the Green500 with the top three positions is a defining and proud moment for the Eviden teams.”

He adds that these achievements underscore that the future of computing links scale, speed, and environmental responsibility, committing to innovative, efficient computing solutions that help shape a sustainable future.
