Munich, February 9^th, 2023

Atos today announ­ces a con­tract to build and install a new high-per­for­mance com­pu­ter for the Max Planck Socie­ty, a world-lea­ding sci­ence and tech­no­lo­gy rese­arch orga­niza­ti­on. The new sys­tem will be based on Atos’ latest Bull­Se­qua­na XH3000 plat­form, which is powered by AMD EPYC™ CPUs and Instinct™ acce­le­ra­tors. In its final con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on, the appli­ca­ti­on per­for­mance will be three times hig­her than the cur­rent “Cobra” sys­tem, which is also based on Atos technologies.

The new super­com­pu­ter, with a total order value of over 20 mil­li­on euros, will be ope­ra­ted by the Max Planck Com­pu­ting and Data Faci­li­ty (MPCDF) in Gar­ching near Munich and will pro­vi­de high-per­for­mance com­pu­ting (HPC) capa­ci­ty for many insti­tu­tes of the Max Planck Socie­ty. Par­ti­cu­lar­ly deman­ding sci­en­ti­fic pro­jects, such as tho­se in astro­phy­sics, life sci­ence rese­arch, mate­ri­als rese­arch, plas­ma phy­sics, and AI will bene­fit from the high-per­for­mance capa­bi­li­ties of the new sys­tem.
