The 6th edition of the ECFD will bring together academic and industrial researchers from the CFD community affiliated with massively parallel fluid mechanics codes to federate their expertise in the field of high-fidelity numerical fluid mechanics. The objective is to develop in the medium term both certain aspects related to the physics integrated in the codes and others related to numerical...

BigScience’s global collaborative effort to develop Bloom, one of the largest, open and multilingual NLP (Natural Language Processing) model in the world, has been recognized in the annual HPCwire Readers’ and Editors’ Choice presented at the 2022 International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC22), in Dallas, Texas. This award of the HPC Best...

The energy efficiency of GENCI (Grand Equipement National de Calcul Intensif)’s new supercomputer Adastra has been improved to reach now 58,2 GF/W, ranking Adastra as #3 position on the new Green500 list announced during SC’22. Adastra is ranking #11 in the November 2022 Top500 list with a 46.10PFlops measured performance.

Capable of controlling at least 100 qubits, the Fresnel analog quantum computer, has been chosen in the framework of the pan-European HPCQS project. This choice, based on the technology of Neutral atoms, results from a joint Franco-German PPI procedure, won by the French startup PASQAL. HPCQS, the four-year pan-European hybrid HPC/quantum pilot project, aims to develop, deploy and coordinate a...

Enabling combined numerical simulation and large data analysis via high-performance computing has tremendously expanded the realm of the possible, and greatly accelerated research projects in many areas. Providing such scientific and economic competitiveness boosters is at the heart of the missions of GENCI and of the teams of CEA Très Grand Centre de Calcul (TGCC). On the road to Exascale, the...

The 5th edition of the ECFD will bring together researchers from academia and industry of the CFD community around massively parallel fluids mechanics codes to federate their expertise with the objective to improve both some aspects linked to physics integrated into these codes and numerical simulation methodologies to meet technical and scientific challenges already perceptible on modern hybrid...

In the frame of the Grant Agreement HPCQS which covers the funding of the acquisition, maintenance and installation costs of quantum simulator pilots, the buyers’ group composed by GENCI and FZJ, is preparing to launch a Public Procurement for Innovative solutions. A prior information notice (PIN) has been published by the procurers in the OJEU on this subject, on the 21st of December 2021. The...

While France is taking over the Presidency of the European Union, and in a context of strengthening bilateral cooperation between France and Italy - highlighted by the signature of the Quirinal Treaty by President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi on 26 November - CEA, CINECA and GENCI have engaged a joint initiative aimed at strengthening European digital capacity.
On...

Thales, Pasqal, Paris Region and GENCI today announce a new two-year partnership to develop new methods to address planning and scheduling challenges related to critical systems’ optimization through Pasqal’s quantum processor. The process of planning (selecting the appropriate policies and procedures to fulfil a mission or a project) and scheduling (converting the project action plans into an...

With the new project “High-Performance Computer and Quantum Simulator hybrid” (HPCQS) Europe enters into the new era of hybrid quantum-high-performance computing. HPCQS sets out to integrate two quantum simulators, each controlling about 100+ qubits in supercomputers located at two European HPC centers. The European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) based in Luxembourg has...
