Dublin, Eire and Paris, France – 17 December 2020
Atos nowadays announces it will deliver its initial GPU-accelerated Atos Quantum Learning Machine Increased (Atos QLM E), the world’s highest-performing commercially obtainable quantum simulator, to the Irish Centre for Superior-Close Computing (ICHEC).
The Atos QLM E will be integrated with the Irish national supercomputer ‘Kay’ and outfitted with a assortment of quantum software program programming tools. As a hybrid HPC-Quantum Computing natural environment, the integrated Kay-Atos QLM E system will provide the Quantum Programming Eire (QPI) Initiative for conducting R&D and national-degree techniques improvement activities in quantum systems by ICHEC as well as other Irish companies in tutorial, business and general public sector.
Presenting up to twelve periods more computation speed than the authentic Atos QLM, the Atos QLM E is also an integral ingredient of the ‘NEASQC’ task, in the €1 bn European flagship quantum initiative, of which Eire is a husband or wife alongside with eleven other European providers and research labs, and coordinated by Atos.
At the time the Atos QLM E is sent on-premise, Atos will present a fast-observe training plan and continue on to boost the process all over its life span to make certain that it delivers the features essential in this fast-relocating willpower of quantum computing.
Prof. Jean-Christophe (“JC”) Desplat, Director at ICHEC, said: “As Ireland’s substantial overall performance computing authority, we’re fully commited to using the electrical power of technologies to resolve some of the toughest problems throughout general public, tutorial and business sectors. Working with a range of partners throughout Europe, we glance ahead to using the Atos QLM E relevant for R&D on a range of scientific and market-relevant quantum computing use-cases and supporting scientific breakthroughs in substantial-overall performance computing.”
Agnès Boudot, Senior Vice President, Head of HPC & Quantum at Atos, said: “As the initial Atos QLM E deployed globally, this partnership marks an crucial milestone in our Quantum Plan. We glance ahead to supporting ICHEC on their quantum journey, assisting them take a look at with their customers the huge potential that quantum computing features. The option will present a scalable, long run-evidence, national framework for the porting of hybrid applications, and for the training and techniques improvement of Irish researchers, and ICHEC’s partners throughout Europe.”
Atos QLM E has been optimized to substantially lessen the simulation time of hybrid classical-quantum algorithms simulations, major to more quickly development in software research.
Atos, a pioneer in quantum
In 2016, Atos launched ‘Atos Quantum’ an bold plan to anticipate the long run of quantum computing. As a final result of this initiative, Atos was the initial corporation to give a quantum sound simulation module within just its Atos QLM give. Atos QLM is staying employed in various countries around the world including Austria, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Senegal, UK and the United States, empowering major research courses in several sectors like market or vitality. Not too long ago, Atos launched “Q-score”, the initial universal quantum metrics reference, relevant to all programmable quantum processors.
