"INEurope's Jupiter supercomputer has been fired up, hitting the exascale threshold of more than one quintillion operations per second. Sited at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, it's the first European supercomputer to do this. It's officially ranked as Europe's most powerful supercomputer and the fourth fastest worldwide, and is expected to be the first in the world to be able to handle 50 qubits, with the current record set at 48."
""With Europe's first exascale supercomputer, we are opening a new chapter for science, AI, and innovation," said Ekaterina Zaharieva, European commissioner for startups, research, and innovation. "Jupiter strengthens Europe's digital sovereignty, accelerates discovery, and ensures that the most powerful and sustainable computing resources are available to our researchers, innovators, and industries." Researchers, said the Commission, will now be able to run climate and weather models at kilometre‑scale resolution, enabling much more precise forecasts of extreme events such as heatwaves, heavy storms, and floods."
Jupiter is an exascale supercomputer installed at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre in Germany, delivering over one quintillion operations per second. The system ranks as Europe’s most powerful and the fourth fastest globally and is expected to support up to 50 qubits. Researchers can run kilometre-scale climate and weather models for far more precise forecasts of extreme events. The platform will enable scaling of multimodal, multilingual open language models to cover European languages and support projects in neurodegenerative therapies, retrovirus research, and particle physics. Jupiter is positioned to strengthen digital sovereignty and attract research and industry investment.
