Eviden's supercomputer JUPITER has been ranked the most powerful in Europe and the 4th globally in the TOP500 and Green500 lists. The company's 57 supercomputers are now in the TOP500, doubling its number of systems in the list over the past five years. JUPITER is capable of performing 1 quintillion double-precision operations per second and is designed to accelerate scientific progress and technological advancements. It is expected to improve weather forecasting, climate science, sustainable energy, AI, quantum research, and structural biology. JUPITER also sets new standards in energy efficiency, with over 60 billion floating-point operations per watt.

Eviden, a leading brand of Atos Group, has made a significant stride in the field of high-performance computing (HPC) with the announcement that its JUPITER supercomputer has been ranked the most powerful in Europe and the fourth globally in the TOP500 and Green500 lists [1]. This achievement underscores Eviden's commitment to innovation and energy-efficiency in HPC and AI systems.

JUPITER, built by the ParTec-Eviden consortium and procured by the European supercomputing initiative EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU), is capable of performing 1 quintillion double-precision operations per second once fully operational [1]. This groundbreaking capability positions JUPITER as a key player in tackling complex scientific challenges and accelerating technological advancements across Europe.

The supercomputer is designed to improve various sectors, including extreme weather forecasting, climate science, sustainable energy, AI, quantum research, and structural biology [1]. Its energy efficiency is remarkable, with over 60 billion floating-point operations per watt, making it the most efficient computer of Exascale-scale systems in the world [1].

Eviden's leadership in the Green500, with two systems above 70 billion floating point operations per watt, reflects its long-term commitment to sustainable computing [1]. The company's focus on innovation in system architecture, direct liquid cooling, and software optimization ensures scalable and responsible growth in HPC and AI technologies.

The JUPITER supercomputer is a testament to Eviden's global role in the HPC and AI landscape, reinforcing its leadership across Europe, Latin America, and India [1]. The system's rapid delivery in just nine months highlights Eviden's technical prowess and commitment to cutting-edge technology.

Early tests using the Linpack benchmark have confirmed JUPITER's performance, which will support diverse research initiatives, including NVIDIA's Earth-2 platform for environmental simulations and the Earth Virtualization Engines project aimed at creating a digital twin of Earth for climate change analysis [2].

With its advanced computing power and energy efficiency, JUPITER is poised to accelerate scientific discovery and industrial innovation, making it a crucial asset for European researchers, industries, and public organizations.
