NVIDIA Powers Europe’s First Exascale Supercomputer for Scientific Innovation

 

 

NVIDIA has officially unveiled its role in powering Europe’s first exascale supercomputer, JUPITER, located at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre in Germany. Utilizing the NVIDIA Grace Hopper™ platform, JUPITER marks a milestone in Europe exascale computing, delivering over 1 quintillion FP64 operations per second—a feat that elevates the continent into the elite league of exascale technology.

JUPITER is equipped with nearly 24,000 NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchips, making it not only the fastest in Europe but also the most energy-efficient among the top five supercomputers globally, operating at 60 gigaflops per watt. The system is interconnected via NVIDIA’s Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking, enabling ultra-fast, high-bandwidth data movement essential for high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) tasks.

 

This NVIDIA supercomputing powerhouse is designed to support some of the most advanced research in the world. It will drive massive simulations and AI models for climate modeling, quantum computing, structural biology, astrophysics, and computational engineering. JUPITER is capable of delivering more than 90 exaflops of AI performance, transforming the speed and scale at which European researchers and institutions can innovate.

Additionally, JUPITER leverages NVIDIA’s full-stack AI software ecosystem, ensuring optimized performance across workloads and easier deployment of next-generation AI solutions. The system is built using Eviden’s BullSequana XH3000 liquid-cooled architecture, further enhancing its sustainability profile.

With JUPITER, NVIDIA AI and processors are not only setting performance records but also empowering Europe’s push for scientific leadership in the exascale era. This development underscores NVIDIA’s pivotal role in shaping the future of AI-powered supercomputing and global scientific advancement.
