This will be the most effective supercomputer in Japanese Europe and is predicted to be operational in July 2021
Paris (France), Prague (Czech Republic), Sofia (Bulgaria) 11 May 2021
Atos nowadays announces that Bulgaria’s new EuroHPC supercomputer, which is based on Atos’ effective BullSequana XH2000 architecture, is now fully delivered and assembled at Sofia Tech Park in Bulgaria. Atos was selected to develop Bulgaria’s petascale supercomputer by the European Large Overall performance Computing Joint Enterprise (EuroHPC JU), the internet hosting entity, and the consortium “Petascale Supercomputer Bulgaria” (PetaSC-Bulgaria) whose primary partner is Sofia Tech Park.
This will be the most effective supercomputer in Japanese Europe and will assistance to leverage Bulgaria’s significant-tech ambitions. Atos’ Czech Republic task groups have currently started the configuration tests and the supercomputer is predicted to commence doing the job operationally in July 2021.
The supercomputer will assistance enhance European scientific study and foster innovation by supplying accessibility to point out-of-the-art HPC infrastructure and expert services to a large selection of people from the scientific study neighborhood, market and the public sector.
It will provide the improvement of scientific, public and industrial apps in lots of fields, like bioinformatics, pharmacy, molecular dynamics and mechanics, quantum chemistry and biochemistry, synthetic intelligence, personalised medicine, bioengineering, meteorology, and the combat towards climate adjust.
“We are amazed by the professionalism of the Atos team. The function on the supply and set up of the machine is ahead of program. The huge problem for the Consortium “Petascale Supercomputer – Bulgaria” team is creating and generating a valuable relationship among the academy, the market, the Sofia Tech Park, and the petascale pc. In this regard, we communicate with the existing EuroHPC centers and have initiated conferences with the academy and market associates. We currently have the very first requests for resolving pragmatic jobs in chemistry, medicine, and biology. Of class, we are also seeking forward to the long run – we are talking with Atos to insert their system and practical experience in quantum computers”, said Peter Statev, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Sofia Tech Park.
“As Europe’s primary supercomputing producer, we are very pleased to be supporting researchers in market and universities across Europe speed up scientific discovery and to acquire alternatives for existing problems this kind of as those people in wellbeing, electricity and agriculture. The use of synthetic intelligence in study has improved the need to have for much more overall flexibility and much more flexibility in supercomputing, which is specifically what we can give with our BullSequana XH2000 so that our prospects can profit from the new capacities of hybrid workloads.” said Agnès Boudot, Senior Vice President, Head of HPC & Quantum at Atos.
The supercomputer is co-financed by the Republic of Bulgaria and EuroHPC JU with a joint financial investment totaling EUR 11.5 million.
In addition to this EuroHPC tender, Atos’ BullSequana will also be used in 4 more EuroHPC supercomputing centres CINECA in Italy, IZUM in Slovenia, with LuxProvide in Luxembourg and in the Minho State-of-the-art Computing Centre in Portugal, thereby reinforcing Atos’ posture as a European leader in significant-general performance computing.
31 Atos supercomputers are listed in the TOP500 globally supercomputer ranking, with a blended peak general performance of 251 petaflops – this is an maximize of 79{312eb768b2a7ccb699e02fa64aff7eccd2b9f51f6a579147b7ed58dbcded82a2} in petaflops from the TOP500 listing in June 2020.

Technological Technical specs
The sizing of the RAM reaches about 300 TB and the selection of cores is a hundred and forty four 384, while the pc is created on AMD EPYC processors cooled by warm drinking water and has a rapidly disk storage with a potential of two PB. The whole process is backed up towards a energy failure by an uninterruptible energy offer with an output of one MW. The sizing of the process is 12 computing racks and two racks with auxiliary infrastructure. The complete complex weighs about thirty tons.
