Europe Gets an Exascale Supercomputer

Cars That Think

JUPITER will reside in a cavernous new building housing several shipping-container-size water-cooled enclosures. JUPITER will rely on GPU-based accelerators alongside a universal cluster module, which will contain CPUs. Doing so requires enormous machines. How many nodes will there be? The hardware side is just one aspect.
