Europe’s first exascale-level supercomputer, named “Jupiter,” has officially been inaugurated in the German city of Jülich, SİA reports.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that “Jupiter,” ranked among the world’s four most powerful supercomputers, will mark a breakthrough for Europe’s scientific and technological development. He emphasized that the system is a pioneering project for the continent, significantly enhancing not only Germany’s but also Europe’s capabilities in artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced scientific modeling. According to the Chancellor, the machine’s power allows it to perform more than a trillion operations per second, equal to the performance of about 10 million standard laptops running simultaneously.
The project was developed by the Jülich Research Center’s Supercomputing Facility and funded by the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU), with additional support from Germany’s Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Space, as well as North Rhine-Westphalia’s Ministry of Culture and Science.
The new system will create opportunities across fields such as rapid training of large AI models, realistic brain simulations, and more precise climate and weather forecasts. With “Jupiter,” Germany’s AI computing power is expected to increase 20-fold, a step that strengthens Europe’s position in competing with major technology powers like the United States and China.
