Europe’s first exascale supercomputer, JUPITER, is now live. Marking a significant milestone in computing, the supercomputer was unveiled at an inauguration ceremony in Jülich. Powered by the NVIDIA Grace Hopper platform, JUPITER can run 1 quintillion FP64 operations per second and is expected to offer up to 90 exaflops of AI performance.

JUPITER represents over a decade of research and development, offering new possibilities for science and industry in Europe. The supercomputer fuses high-performance computing and AI into a single architecture, accelerating breakthroughs in climate modeling, quantum research, and more. Germany Chancellor Friedrich Merz highlighted the impact of JUPITER on national advancement and industrial innovation.

European startups, enterprises, and researchers now have access to JUPITER, enabling breakthroughs in climate science, generative AI, neuroscience, quantum simulation, and other disciplines. The supercomputer is facilitating projects like climate predictions with higher spatial resolution, training language models for European languages, and simulating neuron behavior for therapeutic developments.

JUPITER is empowering European researchers by fueling challenging research initiatives with optimal energy efficiency. Early flagship projects include molecular dynamics simulation, multilingual language models, particle physics studies, foundation models for video, and multimodal AI foundation models. The supercomputer is expected to drive advancements in various fields, from medical imaging to autonomous driving.
