Leading the way in European Supercomputing

Upgrading Europe

Quick, think of a number. Now multiply it by 7. That sort of mental arithmetic is exactly what a computer does, except it can juggle numbers 19 digits long. And a supercomputer can perform trillions of these floating-point operations (or FLOPs) at once. One hundred top-of-the-line laptops working together might be able to achieve a single petaflop. One petaflop equals 1 000 000 000 000 000 calculations per second. ...

Lean, green, numbers machine

Power isn’t everything. In line with the EU’s ambitious plans to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, the EuroHPC JU has been instrumental in supporting the development of supercomputers that are big on power and low on environmental impact. Supercomputers generate a lot of heat. Water-based cooling systems are far more efficient than fans and air-conditioned rooms, helping supercomputers to crunch numbers without breaking a sweat. ...

Putting EuroHPC JU on the map

The EuroHPC JU includes 31 countries working together to build Europe’s supercomputing resources. The map on this page shows the location of the supercomputers deployed by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking. In the pre-exascale range are LUMI in Finland, LEONARDO in Italy, and MareNostrum 5 in Spain. In the petascale range are MeluXina in Luxembourg, Karolina in Czechia, Deucalion in Portugal, Vega in Slovenia, and Discoverer in Bulgaria. ...
