A transitional system called Hunter will be installed in 2025, with an exascale system called Herder to follow in 2027.

The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) and the German-French supercomputer consortium ParTec-Eviden supercomputer consortium have signed a contract for the construction of JUPITER. JUPITER will be the first exascale supercomputer in Europe, hosted at Forschungszentrum Jülich, member of GCS, in the German state of North-Rhine Westphalia. The system, designed for large-scale simulations and artificial intelligence (AI) applications in science and industry alike, is expected to launch in 2024.

In June, leadership of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking agreed in principle on Europe’s first exascale machine coming to Germany. Now it is official, with the Jülich Supercomputing Centre signing a hosting agreement in Luxemburg this month

Long-time GCS collaborator and user Prof. Dr. Ulrich Rüde discusses his views on the future of supercomputing.
