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

Dublin, Ireland and Paris, France – 17 December 2020

Atos today announces it will supply its first GPU-accelerated Atos Quantum Discovering Machine Increased (Atos QLM E), the world’s maximum-performing commercially offered quantum simulator, to the Irish Centre for Large-Close Computing (ICHEC).

The Atos QLM E will be integrated with the Irish nationwide supercomputer ‘Kay’ and geared up with a variety of quantum application programming instruments. As a hybrid HPC-Quantum Computing environment, the integrated Kay-Atos QLM E system will provide the Quantum Programming Ireland (QPI) Initiative for conducting R&D and nationwide-amount abilities enhancement functions in quantum systems by ICHEC as perfectly as other Irish businesses in academic, company and general public sector.

Offering up to twelve moments far more computation speed than the first Atos QLM, the Atos QLM E is also an integral part of the ‘NEASQC’ project, in the €1 bn European flagship quantum initiative, of which Ireland is a associate alongside with 11 other European providers and study labs, and coordinated by Atos.

After the Atos QLM E is sent on-premise, Atos will offer a fast-monitor schooling system and keep on to improve the program in the course of its life time to assure that it delivers the functionality demanded in this fast-going self-discipline of quantum computing.

Prof. Jean-Christophe (“JC”) Desplat, Director at ICHEC, said: “As Ireland’s significant functionality computing authority, we’re fully commited to working with the ability of technological innovation to address some of the hardest difficulties across general public, academic and company sectors. Doing the job with a variety of associates across Europe, we appear forward to utilizing the Atos QLM E related for R&D on a variety of scientific and marketplace-relevant quantum computing use-cases and supporting scientific breakthroughs in significant-functionality computing.”

Agnès Boudot, Senior Vice President, Head of HPC & Quantum at Atos, said: “As the first Atos QLM E deployed globally, this partnership marks an essential milestone in our Quantum Method. We appear forward to supporting ICHEC on their quantum journey, helping them check out with their consumers the big prospective that quantum computing presents. The remedy will offer a scalable, upcoming-proof, nationwide framework for the porting of hybrid apps, and for the schooling and abilities enhancement of Irish researchers, and ICHEC’s associates across Europe.”

Atos QLM E has been optimized to greatly reduce the simulation time of hybrid classical-quantum algorithms simulations, major to faster development in software study.

Atos, a pioneer in quantum

In 2016, Atos released ‘Atos Quantum’ an bold system to foresee the upcoming of quantum computing. As a end result of this initiative, Atos was the first business to offer you a quantum sound simulation module within its Atos QLM offer you. Atos QLM is staying used in quite a few nations around the world including Austria, Finland, France, Germany, India,  Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Senegal, UK and the United States, empowering significant study courses in many sectors like marketplace or power. Not long ago, Atos introduced “Q-score”, the first common quantum metrics reference, relevant to all programmable quantum processors.
