Der Jülicher Supercomputer JUWELS

A turbocharger for the supercomputer JUWELS

The Jülich supercomputer JUWELS will have a big brother, a so-called booster module, as the Forschungszentrum Jülich, the French IT group Atos and the German software company ParTec have agreed. The module, equipped with several thousand graphics processors, is designed for extreme computing power and artificial intelligence tasks. In 2020, the computing power of JUWELS will be increased from currently 12 to over 70 petaflops – this corresponds to the power of more than 300,000 modern PCs.
