\"Supercomputer\"
This is what it looks like, the new BullSequana XH3000 supercomputer. (Image: Atos)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\nThe company Atos<\/a> has unveiled the new BullSequana XH3000, an exascale-class supercomputer. Computers of this scale can perform up to a trillion calculations per second (1 ExaFlop). This computing power will enable leading scientists and researchers to make further advances in areas such as weather forecasting and climate change, new drug discovery and genomics. The supercomputer was developed and built by Atos at its factory in Angers, France. It is said to be this manufacturer's most efficient and powerful system to date. According to Atos, this development plays a key role in keeping important knowledge and expertise in the field of high-performance computing in Europe. The new supercomputer plays an important role in securing digital and economic sovereignty.\r\n

Strengthening digital and economic sovereignty<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nBecause governments, public institutions and private sector companies are making sovereignty a priority: it's about realizing the full potential of their data while protecting it at all costs. With the BullSequana XH3000 and expertise in both the. sovereign cloud<\/a> as well as with the Cybersecurity<\/a>, there is now a way to gain control over the data they generate and share.\r\n

Supercomputer sets new technical standards<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nThe increasing volume and complexity of data means that there is an exponential demand for computing power. There is no other way to meet new challenges facing humanity, such as global warming and the Covid 19 pandemic. The BullSequana XH3000 will be able to deliver unprecedented computing power: With up to six times the performance of the previous version - and at every performance level, including exascale. This will be achieved using advanced hybrid computing technology to combine CPUs and GPUs with AI and even quantum computing hardware for use in traditional scientific simulations.\r\n

\"Green\" technology<\/h2>\r\nIn addition, the new supercomputer is very energy-efficient. An eco-design and architecture focused on sustainability ensure this, Atos informs. In addition to the patented DLC (Direct Liquid Cooling) solution, which offers more than 50 percent additional cooling capacity compared to previous generations, particular attention was paid to a completely environmentally friendly product life cycle. This ranges from the procurement of raw materials and manufacturing to testing, transport, disposal and recycling.\r\n

Compatibility guaranteed<\/h2>\r\nThe BullSequana XH3000 combines the latest and most sophisticated technologies, network components as well as communication systems. It is powered by the most advanced CPU and GPU processor and accelerator architectures from AMD<\/a>, Intel<\/a>, NVIDIA<\/a> and last but not least the European microprocessor from SiPearl<\/a> powered. It has improved power consumption and computing power, enabling faster and more efficient large-scale scientific simulations.\r\n\r\nThanks to the OpenSequana architecture, the system is fully compatible with all future blade and interconnect technologies and can be easily expanded as needed. With a security-by-design approach that combines vulnerability monitoring and threat anticipation, the BullSequana XH3000 ensures that data is fully protected.\r\n\r\nThe BullSequana XH3000 is expected to be available in Q4 2022.\r\n
