JUPITER, located at the Forschungszentrum Jülich facility in Germany, is set to redefine supercomputing for AI-driven scientific breakthroughs. Owned by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking and contracted to Eviden and ParTec, JUPITER is a collaborative effort involving NVIDIA, ParTec, Eviden, and SiPearl. This supercomputer aims to accelerate the development of foundational AI models across various domains, including climate and weather research, material science, drug discovery, industrial engineering, and quantum computing.
The quad NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip configuration in JUPITER boasts close to 24,000 interconnected GH200 Superchips, utilizing Eviden’s BullSequana XH3000 liquid-cooled architecture. The booster module is integrated with the NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking platform, creating the world's most powerful AI system. JUPITER delivers over 90 exaflops of AI training performance and 1 exaflop for high-performance computing (HPC) applications, consuming only 18.2 megawatts of power.
The GH200 architecture features 288 Arm Neoverse cores, offering 16 petaflops of AI performance with up to 2.3 terabytes of high-speed memory. The processors are connected through high-speed NVIDIA NVLink, creating a robust and efficient computational network.
This collaboration aims to push the boundaries of scientific research and technology, with JUPITER addressing challenges in climate and weather prediction, drug discovery, quantum computing technologies, and industrial engineering. The installation of the JUPITER system is expected in 2024.
NVIDIA's Vice President of Hyperscale and HPC, Ian Buck, emphasized that the JUPITER supercomputer, powered by NVIDIA GH200 and advanced AI software, will deliver exascale AI and HPC performance to address significant scientific challenges. The director of the Jülich Supercomputing Centre, Thomas Lippert, highlighted JUPITER's combination of exascale AI and HPC capabilities with NVIDIA's AI software ecosystem.
The announcement underlines the significant strides made with the NVIDIA GH200, showcasing its potential in accelerating simulations, scientific research, and driving unprecedented discoveries. JUPITER represents a revolutionary system that combines accelerated computing, AI, and HPC to advance scientific frontiers.
