Programmes HPCEurope's second high-end exascale supercomputer has found its home: it will be hosted by the Très Grand Centre de Calcul of the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission in Bruyères-le-Châtel (France) and operated by the "Jules Verne" consortium. It will be accessible to European researchers and industry as of 2025.
This supercomputer represents a joint investment shared between France, the Netherlands, and the EU of around €540 million. The EU will contribute 50% of the total costs from the DIGITAL Europe Programme.
Thanks to its massive computing capacity, it will help solve societal challenges in several areas, such as energy (e.g. support fusion energy development), health (e.g. fast analysis of genomic data for virus mutations, rapid disease detection), and management of climate change (e.g. providing high-resolution weather forecast models). It will also advance our capabilities in quantum computing simulation.

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.
