Eviden-built JUPITER supercomputer listed as the most powerful system in Europe and 4th worldwide
Paris, France – June 10, 2025 – Eviden, the Atos Group product brand leading in advanced computing, cybersecurity products, mission-critical systems and vision AI announces that 57 Eviden-built supercomputers are listed in the TOP500 and in the Green500, the global listings of the world's most powerful and most energy-efficient supercomputers. This number of Eviden systems in the TOP500 has more than doubled in five years and positions Eviden as the third-largest manufacturer worldwide in terms of systems listed, and the first in Europe, Latin America and India. With JUPITER ranked #4 in the TOP500 and its JEDI partition again #1 in the Green500, and ROMEO also placing #2 in the Green500, this edition highlights Eviden's strong commitment to innovation, performance and energy-efficiency, accelerating the use of AI and large-scale simulation in science, research and technological innovation. JUPITER, unlocking a new era to accelerate Europe's scientific breakthrough As Europe's most powerful HPC and AI system, JUPITER is unlocking a new era of scientific and technological advancement. With the capability to perform 1 quintillion double-precision operations per second once fully operational, this groundbreaking supercomputer is already surpassing 790 petaflops—a key milestone in tackling today's most complex challenges and strengthening Europe's technological leadership. From dramatically improving extreme weather forecasts to accelerating breakthroughs in climate science, sustainable energy, AI, quantum research, and structural biology, JUPITER will empower researchers, industries, public organizations across Europe to drive innovation at an unprecedented scale. Built by the ParTec-Eviden consortium, the system has been procured by the European supercomputing initiative EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) and is operated by the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC). The JUPITER Booster partition, supplied by Eviden and based on its BullSequana XH3000, is equipped with around 24,000 NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchips, which are optimized for highly parallel applications – such as training AI models, Large Language Models or numerically demanding simulations. JUPITER is also setting new standards in terms of energy efficiency – with more than 60 billion floating point operations per watt, JUPITER is the most efficient computer of Exascale-scale systems in the world. Besides its highly efficient Direct Liquid Cooling system provided by Eviden, JUPITER is also designed to use the waste heat generated in operation to heat buildings and will be integrated into the Jülich campus heating network. Eviden leading the Green500, showcasing its long-term Commitment to sustainable computing Eviden leading the Green500 for the second edition in row, with the only two systems – JUPITER's JEDI partition (#1 for the third time) and ROMEO – above 70 billion floating point operations per watt (GFlop/Watt)1, is the recognition for years of innovation towards more sustainable technologies. While the need for HPC and AI is growing, their energy demands is also moving exponentially, raising critical sustainability and efficiency challenges. Eviden has been addressing these challenges for years, through continued innovation in system architecture, Direct Liquid Cooling, and software optimization to ensure scalable, responsible growth. Emmanuel Le Roux, SVP, Global Head of Advanced Computing, Eviden, Atos Group said 'We are extremely proud to see Eviden-built systems still the top first spots of the Green500 and JUPITER listed as the 4th most powerful AI supercomputer in the world. Having delivered JUPITER and its Modular Data Center in 9 months is a major achievement and we look forward to seeing it reach its full exascale capacity once fully operational. These TOP500 and Green500 results are a strong recognition of Eviden's global role in the HPC and AI landscape, reinforcing our leadership across Europe, LATAM, and India — and our continued commitment to building greener, more efficient systems that will shape the next era of computing.' *** About Eviden Eviden is the Atos Group brand for hardware and software products with c. € 1 billion in revenue, operating in 36 countries and comprising four business units: advanced computing, cybersecurity products, mission-critical systems and vision AI.

St. Marys Friendship Centre highlights opportunities for intergenerational connection this Seniors Month
As the St. Marys Friendship Centre gears up for its next intergenerational program, a concert featuring children's entertainer Erick Traplin at the Pyramid Recreation Centre (PRC) June 6, St. Marys senior services manager Jenny Mikita reflected on why fostering connections between generations can be so positive. The upcoming concert, scheduled on a PA Day for local schools and set to begin at 9:30 a.m., is yet another event planned in partnership by the Friendship Centre and St. Marys' EarlyON Centre aimed at fostering connections between seniors and young children. 'It's a free event. We're encouraging our population to come – bring your grandkids – and EarlyON is encouraging their families to come, so we hope to have a good turnout for that,' Mikita said. ' … That intergenerational piece just brings joy to people.' The idea behind hosting events for seniors and young children came about naturally thanks, in part, to the myriad groups and programs hosted for a diverse range of ages within the walls of the PRC. While the Friendship Centre caters mostly to older adults, the EarlyON Centre offers free, high-quality programming for children from birth to six years old and their families. In many cases, there is overlap in both the time slots and spaces used for the programming offered by both centres. 'EarlyON actually has a Baby Time program; it's held on Thursday mornings. We run all different programs in all different spaces at all different times, but at that particular time in our main hall, drop-in coffee area, we're running a program called ROMEO – Retired Outstanding Men Enjoying Ourselves,' Mikita said. 'It's just really a coffee time. The purpose of ROMEO is really to draw older men out of their homes because sometimes there needs to be genders for specific programming for specific groups, so that's a group of retired individuals. Some of them are farmers, some of them are professionals; they get together and they enjoy coffee and social. They're supposed to come for fitness and then stick around and have coffee, but they come for coffee first and then have fitness. ' … So, during that time, about a year ago, EarlyON started bringing their families – their caregivers with their young ones, and young is usually under the age of 18 months – over to the main hall. In the main hall at the time, it was the ROMEO group and then other people having coffee, and they'd just literally come over, socialize and connect. And we've seen wonderful connections; like long-term-relationship connections between some of the EarlyON families and some of coffee friends here.' A few of those relationships were so strong, when one of the EarlyON families moved away, they kept in touch with their new friends from the Friendship Centre. And after a programming change briefly ended the visits by EarlyON families, the ROMEO members told Friendship Centre staff they missed their weekly connections with the babies and their families. 'Babies make you feel good when they're not crying, right?' Mikita said. 'We have heard, 'I don't see my grandkids as much as I'd like to.' It's nice to have interactions like that. Providing an outlet for grandparents and grandchildren or caregivers and young ones or different age groups to interact with one another is educational and heartwarming for both the young and the older.' Mikita says the Friendship Centre and EarlyON Centre partners every chance they get to organize programs that have mutual benefit for both young ones and seniors. Beyond the concert on June 6, the centres are in the early stages of planning a grandparents' day in the fall and staff hopes to continue planning similar intergenerational events once or twice a year going forward.
