Europe enters the exascale supercomputing league with Jupiter (ec.europa.eu)

something with a little more technical detail:

looks like its just a big Nvidia installation. IB, Ceph, K8s, H100s

"With JUPITER, Europe becomes the home of the most powerful computer in Europe" -- Henna Virkkunen

What does that mean?

From the add I did over on WP Current Events, based on the June preliminary system test (data from Top 500 https://top500.org/lists/top500/2025/06/):

"It is currently being commissioned and has achieved a preliminary HPL value of 793.4 Petaflop/s on a partial system."

Top 500 Rank: 4 (behind El Capitan, Frontier, and Aurora at the DOE)

System Config: JUPITER Booster - BullSequana XH3000, GH Superchip 72C 3GHz, NVIDIA GH200 Superchip, Quad-Rail NVIDIA InfiniBand NDR200, RedHat Enterprise Linux

Manufacturer: EVIDEN https://eviden.com/solutions/high-performance-computing/hpc-...

Location: EuroHPC/FZJ, Germany https://www.fz-juelich.de/en/ias/jsc/jupiter

Cores: 4,801,344

Rmax (PFlop/s) / Rpeak (PFlop/s): 793.40 / 930.00

Power (kW): 13,088

Honest question: what will likely be done with a computer like this?

How do the gpu training clusters rank against the traditional “largest supercomputer” metric? Or is that comparing apples to oranges?

I think by some measures XAi already has the largest (200k H100 equivalent) and already constructing the 1 million gpu cluster.
