JUPITER Exascale in Europe from inception to deployment
In this talk we’ll discuss the complete timeline of JUPITER -the first ExaFLOP-capable system in Europe-, from the broad-architecture of its predecessors, to the process to become a hosting entity with EuroHPC, the system procurement process, the system characteristics, its hosting building and its current deployment state and its future expansions.
Dr. Damián Álvarez is a computer scientist specialized in High-Performance Computing (HPC) and is currently the lead of the Operations & Development Team for the Exascale Supercomputer at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC). He also serves as the Deputy Head of the Division HPC, Cloud and Data Systems and Services at Forschungszentrum Jülich. Alvarez has been involved in advanced HPC projects, including leading efforts related to the JUPITER exascale supercomputer, which is the first exascale system in Europe. He has contributed extensively to HPC research and development, publication of scientific works, and the design of scalable computing architectures.
He has also participated in public presentations and discussions about the JUPITER project and the evolution of supercomputing in Europe, emphasizing modular architectures and novel HPC paradigms.
