SiPearl has completed the design of its Rhea1 processor, intended for the Jupiter supercomputer. The design has been sent to TSMC for manufacturing, with first silicon samples anticipated in early 2026. Initially scheduled for a 2022 release, the project has faced multiple delays. Rhea1 will be constructed using TSMC's 6nm process, incorporating 80 Neoverse V1 cores and 64 GB of HBM2E memory. The processor will power a CPU cluster featuring two Rhea1 chips in each of the 1,300 nodes, adding five petaFLOPS to Jupiter's performance, while contributing to European tech projects like OpenCUBE and HIGHER.
The Rhea1 processor design has been completed and is now set for manufacturing by TSMC, with a projected start of silicon samples expected in early 2026.
Despite initial plans for the Rhea1 processor to utilize a more advanced production node, it will remain on TSMC's N6 6nm process node.
The CPU cluster for the Jupiter supercomputer will feature two Rhea1 processors per compute node, integrating 1,300 nodes to enhance system processing capabilities by five petaFLOPS.
SiPearl's Rhea1 processor is integral to European initiatives including OpenCUBE and the HIGHER project, which focus on developing cloud computing solutions using European technology.
