Atos unveils global R&D Lab to drive innovation in Cybersecurity, High Performance Computing and Quantum
Les Clayes-sous-Bois (Yvelines), France – April 22, 2021
Atos nowadays formally inaugurates its new global Analysis & Enhancement Lab in Les Clayes-sous-Bois, in the greater Paris metropolitan space (Yvelines), France. The new eight,000 m2 lab, which hosts around 350 of Atos’ hugely experienced engineers, presents a fashionable space dedicated to investigation in quantum computing, significant-efficiency computing, edge, synthetic intelligence and cybersecurity.
Supported by the Ile-de-France Area and created on Atos’ present site at Les Clayes-sous-Bois, which employs nearly one,000 persons, this lab is yet another milestone in Atos’ approach to create and globally placement the historical site of Clayes-sous-Bois and the Ile-de-France Area as a sturdy center of complex know-how. “Atos Quantum”, Atos’ quantum computing investigation system and the initially major quantum sector system in Europe, advantages from an financial investment of €5 million from the Ile-de-FranceArea as section of its ‘Smart Industry’ approach, adopted in July 2017.
Innovation to support the battle versus global warming
Decarbonization is a essential priority for Atos. The firm is committed to cutting down the global carbon emissions beneath its regulate and influence by 50% by 2025 and to accomplish “zero internet emissions”, by 2028. The investigation made in this new laboratory, conference the highest environmental criteria, will concentration on innovation to support the battle versus global warming, these as employing quantum calculation or the energy performance of supercomputers to accelerate society’s journey to carbon neutrality. Another case in point is the growth of a ‘supercomputer brain’ that will be in a position to forecast and optimize energy consumption primarily based on the workload and the energy readily available in the energy providers’ grids.
Inauguration Ceremony
The inauguration ceremony saw Valérie Pécresse, President of the Ile-de-FranceRegional Council say:“I am happy to be section of this growth of the sector of the long term in the Ile-de-France Area. This new developing and financial investment exhibit that we are planning the long term ideal below, ideal now. We are committed to producing the Ile-de-France Area a territory of innovation, a electronic leader at the coronary heart of the financial material. This new R&D lab is in line with our plans to boost the implementation and growth of strategic systems, in certain quantum computing, in the Ile-de-France Area.”
“In partnership with the Ile-de-France Area, I am thrilled to formally open up our new R&D Lab nowadays which illustrates far more than 50 years of investigation operate carried out at our historical site of Clayes-sous-Bois. From this symbolic site we will travel ahead our formidable quantum computing system and create strategic systems, goods and answers that will be sold around the globe, and that will assistance shape a protected, decarbonized future” reported Elie Girard, CEO Atos.
Atos Quantum: a global system
The R&D lab will accommodate the investigation operate performed as section of the Atos Quantum system, launched in 2016, which aims to accelerate the growth of scientific and sector-pertinent quantum computing use-scenarios. Atos scientists made the Atos Quantum Discovering Machine (Atos QLM), the world’s highest-executing commercially readily available quantum simulator, which is already remaining utilized in several countries around the globe together with Finland, France, Germany, India, Japan, the United kingdom and the United States, empowering major investigation applications in numerous sectors like sector or energy. Atos also a short while ago launched “Q-score”, the initially common quantum metrics, applicable to all programmable quantum processors, steps a quantum system’s effectiveness at dealing with genuine-lifestyle troubles, somewhat than merely measuring its theoretical efficiency.
