Meeting at the supercomputing conference SC17 (from left to right): Hugo Falter (ParTec), Prof. This means that it can be cooled directly with outside air and without the need to spend additional energy for cooling”. “Unlike its predecessor, the new system uses hot water to cool the racks that can be much warmer than the normal ambient temperature. Michael Stephan, technical expert at the JSC for the system. “A high integration density and efficient hot water cooling allow significant savings in operating costs,” explains Dr. The module is to be installed in the first half of 2018 and is based on Atos' Sequana architecture. The decision to choose Atos as the hardware supplier was made in a two-stage competitive procurement process of the research center. This second module is then specially designed for applications that require the highest computing power.
Within two years, the system is to be completed by a second module within a common network. With a nominal peak performance of 12 petaflop/second - equivalent to 12 quadrillion computing operations per second - this first expansion stage will already be designed for twice as much computing power as its predecessor system, which has reached its end of service. The first module of the successor of JUQEEN, which is now planned, is tailored to a wide range of very complex applications in simulation and data analysis. “The Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) is breaking new ground with its modular concept,” explains Prof. Supercomputer JUQUEEN Copyright: Forschungszentrum Jülich / R.-U. In addition, an expansion of the central Jülich storage system was agreed with the manufacturer Lenovo. GCS and its supercomputers are jointly supported and financed by the federal government and the three states in which GCS is headquartered. The new system is to be operated as a national high-performance computer within the framework of the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS), to which the three data centers of the Jülich Research Centre (JSC), the Bavarian Academy of Sciences (LRZ) and Stuttgart University (HLRS) belong.

The third partner is the Munich-based software company ParTec. Forschungszentrum Jülich and the international IT company Atos have agreed at the SC17 supercomputing conference currently taking place in Denver, USA, to install the first module of the system. November 2017 - A figurehead of Forschungszentrum Jülich retires in the spring of 2018: JUQUEEN, Europe's fastest supercomputer for many years, will meet its successor.
