The journey towards Europe’s first exascale supercomputer, JUPITER, at Forschungszentrum Jülich is progressing at a robust pace. A major milestone has just been reached with the completion of JETI, the second module of this groundbreaking system.

Today’s TOP500 and Green500 lists affirm Europe’s global position: two EuroHPC systems are in the top 10,and JETI, the new JUPITER module, debuts at 18th. JEDI retains 1st place in the Green500, highlighting Europe’s strength in green supercomputing

Thanks to increased funding from the European Union and stepped-up collaboration between the Commission-supported EuroHPC initiative and EU member states Europe has become one of the global leaders in HPC and related AI and quantum computing.

Building a strong HPC sector in Europe involves much more than simply setting up supercomputers. It's a complex endeavour in which each activity enhances and reinforces the others, creating a comprehensive and dynamic ecosystem.

The EuroHPC User Day, held on 22-23 October 2024 in Amsterdam, introduced a new awards session to recognise outstanding contributions to the European supercomputing ecosystem. Awards were presented for Best HPC User, Best Paper, and Best AI Project.

The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking announced the creation of the User Forum Coordination Group, a collaborative initiative that will coordinate the setting up of the EuroHPC User Forum

The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking has selected SURF, as a new site to host and operate in the Netherlands a state-of-the art EuroHPC quantum computer, advancing Europe's leadership in quantum technologies and their applications.

The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has selected LuxProvide, as a new site to host and operate in Luxembourg a cutting-edge EuroHPC quantum computer, driving Europe's leadership in quantum technologies.

The procurement contract of Euro-Q-Exa, the EuroHPC quantum computer to be located in Germany, has been signed by the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) and the company IQM Quantum Computers, the selected vendor.
