Dublin, Eire and Paris, France – seventeen December 2020
Atos nowadays announces it will supply its to start with GPU-accelerated Atos Quantum Understanding Device Enhanced (Atos QLM E), the world’s maximum-performing commercially readily available quantum simulator, to the Irish Centre for Substantial-Stop Computing (ICHEC).
The Atos QLM E will be built-in with the Irish nationwide supercomputer ‘Kay’ and outfitted with a wide range of quantum application programming instruments. As a hybrid HPC-Quantum Computing environment, the built-in Kay-Atos QLM E system will serve the Quantum Programming Eire (QPI) Initiative for conducting R&D and nationwide-amount abilities growth actions in quantum systems by ICHEC as well as other Irish corporations in educational, business and community sector.
Offering up to 12 moments additional computation velocity than the first Atos QLM, the Atos QLM E is also an integral component of the ‘NEASQC’ venture, in the €1 bn European flagship quantum initiative, of which Eire is a spouse along with 11 other European providers and exploration labs, and coordinated by Atos.
At the time the Atos QLM E is shipped on-premise, Atos will supply a quickly-keep track of training application and proceed to greatly enhance the program through its life time to guarantee that it provides the functionality needed in this quickly-shifting discipline of quantum computing.
Prof. Jean-Christophe (“JC”) Desplat, Director at ICHEC, reported: “As Ireland’s substantial effectiveness computing authority, we’re committed to using the electricity of engineering to remedy some of the hardest challenges throughout community, educational and business sectors. Doing work with a variety of partners throughout Europe, we glance ahead to making use of the Atos QLM E similar for R&D on a variety of scientific and market-related quantum computing use-cases and supporting scientific breakthroughs in substantial-effectiveness computing.”
Agnès Boudot, Senior Vice President, Head of HPC & Quantum at Atos, reported: “As the to start with Atos QLM E deployed globally, this partnership marks an important milestone in our Quantum Application. We glance ahead to supporting ICHEC on their quantum journey, aiding them explore with their users the massive potential that quantum computing presents. The answer will supply a scalable, future-evidence, nationwide framework for the porting of hybrid programs, and for the training and abilities growth of Irish scientists, and ICHEC’s partners throughout Europe.”
Atos QLM E has been optimized to substantially decrease the simulation time of hybrid classical-quantum algorithms simulations, top to more quickly progress in software exploration.
Atos, a pioneer in quantum
In 2016, Atos introduced ‘Atos Quantum’ an formidable application to anticipate the future of quantum computing. As a end result of this initiative, Atos was the to start with group to give a quantum sounds simulation module in just its Atos QLM give. Atos QLM is getting utilised in quite a few nations around the world around the world including Austria, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Senegal, UK and the United States, empowering important exploration programs in a variety of sectors like market or energy. Not too long ago, Atos released “Q-score”, the to start with common quantum metrics reference, applicable to all programmable quantum processors.
