Atos delivers its first GPU-accelerated Quantum Learning Machine to the Irish Centre for High-End Computing (ICHEC)

Dublin, Eire and Paris, France – 17 December 2020

Atos now announces it will produce its very first GPU-accelerated Atos Quantum Discovering Device Enhanced (Atos QLM E), the world’s best-performing commercially out there quantum simulator, to the Irish Centre for Substantial-Conclude Computing (ICHEC).

The Atos QLM E will be integrated with the Irish national supercomputer ‘Kay’ and outfitted with a wide variety of quantum application programming tools. As a hybrid HPC-Quantum Computing setting, the integrated Kay-Atos QLM E system will serve the Quantum Programming Eire (QPI) Initiative for conducting R&D and national-stage competencies growth things to do in quantum technologies by ICHEC as well as other Irish companies in educational, enterprise and community sector.

Featuring up to twelve instances much more computation velocity than the first Atos QLM, the Atos QLM E is also an integral element of the ‘NEASQC’ venture, in the €1 bn European flagship quantum initiative, of which Eire is a husband or wife along with eleven other European organizations and analysis labs, and coordinated by Atos.

When the Atos QLM E is shipped on-premise, Atos will present a quick-observe schooling application and keep on to enhance the technique during its life time to assure that it provides the features required in this quick-moving self-control of quantum computing.

Prof. Jean-Christophe (“JC”) Desplat, Director at ICHEC, said: “As Ireland’s high efficiency computing authority, we’re committed to making use of the electric power of technological innovation to fix some of the toughest challenges throughout community, educational and enterprise sectors. Operating with a amount of partners throughout Europe, we look ahead to utilizing the Atos QLM E associated for R&D on a amount of scientific and field-suitable quantum computing use-cases and supporting scientific breakthroughs in high-efficiency computing.”

Agnès Boudot, Senior Vice President, Head of HPC & Quantum at Atos, said: “As the very first Atos QLM E deployed globally, this partnership marks an significant milestone in our Quantum Method. We look ahead to supporting ICHEC on their quantum journey, assisting them examine with their consumers the large possible that quantum computing delivers. The remedy will present a scalable, long term-evidence, national framework for the porting of hybrid apps, and for the schooling and competencies growth of Irish researchers, and ICHEC’s partners throughout Europe.”

Atos QLM E has been optimized to considerably lessen the simulation time of hybrid classical-quantum algorithms simulations, primary to more quickly progress in application analysis.

Atos, a pioneer in quantum

In 2016, Atos launched ‘Atos Quantum’ an formidable application to anticipate the long term of quantum computing. As a consequence of this initiative, Atos was the very first organization to provide a quantum sound simulation module inside its Atos QLM provide. Atos QLM is becoming employed 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 analysis systems in numerous sectors like field or vitality. Recently, Atos introduced “Q-score”, the very first common quantum metrics reference, relevant to all programmable quantum processors.
