JUPITER - first European Exascale computer acquired through Digital Europe
The Digital Europe programme provides funds for the acquisition of JUPITER, the first exascale computer in Europe.
JUPITER will contain high-powered, energy efficient processors, including also first prototypes of ‘made in the EU’ processors. Its computing power will support the development of high-precision models of complex systems and applications, such as:
- training large language models in AI
- running simulations for better, stronger, lighter materials
- creating digital twins of the human heart or brain for medical purposes
- complex climate simulations that take into account all of Earth’s systems
After its installation in the second half of 2024, JUPITER will be made available to the scientific community, industries, and the public sector across Europe. Hundreds of applications will be run in areas such as climate change and weather forecasting, material science, bio-engineering, and training large language models. Jupiter will be accessible to startups across Europe to train and deploy generative AI models.
Once operational JUPITER joins the existing supercomputers of the EuroHPC JU already in operation: MareNostrum in Spain, LEONARDO in Italy, LUMI in Finland, Discoverer in Bulgaria, MeluXina in Luxembourg, Vega in Slovenia, Karolina in Czechia, and Deucalion in Portugal – all combining to put a total of almost two billion billion calculations per second, thus confirming Europe as a world supercomputing power.

Luciad - Geospatial software for mission-critical operations
Founded in 1999, Luciad serves clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Though it recently was acquired by Hexagon Geospatial, they kept an agile SME mindset. Thousands of end users work directly with Luciad’s geospatial applications, and major systems integrators (think Airbus Defense and Space, Lufthansa Systems, NATO, Thales…) incorporate its software in their own products.
NCP Flanders went to Leuven to interview Frederic Houbie, the Research Projects Manager at Luciad, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Luciad is a partner in the MARISA project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic.
