Paris, France -
November 14,
2022 – Atos today announces the extension of its Nimbix
Federated Supercomputing offer to Europe by integrating Discoverer,
a EuroHPC JU supercomputer hosted by Consortium “Petascale
Supercomputer Bulgaria”, located in Sofia Tech Park, Sofia,
Bulgaria. Nimbix EuroHPC-approved users around the world can now
benefit from the computing power of the Discoverer platform in the
cloud, amongst other already-available supercomputing
resources.
As HPC in the cloud models are evolving from
limited options with high-dollar investments to flexible, scalable
and as-a-service models, the Nimbix Supercomputing Suite federates
large-scale machines and clouds along with managed services to
enable on-demand collaborative scientific computing platform. It
offers a unified and secure service console to manage all compute
zones and regions in a public or private HPC, AI, and
supercomputing federation. With this industry-first offer, Atos
widens and democratizes HPC usages by unlocking cloud computing
performance otherwise not available by any other service
provider.
This one-of-a-kind initiative is the opportunity
for both customers and resource owners to utilize optimally and
flexibly the available supercomputing power while enabling
federated capabilities to further develop collaboration across
borders and to accelerate time to innovation in various domains.
Customers will enjoy all the benefits of HPC cloud computing
services (aka HPC as a service): from optimized performance to
scalable resources, accessible as-a-service anywhere they want to
run, with the advantage of bare metal performance. By maximizing
productive utilization of compute resources, customers will also
make a more effective use of the electricity used to power those
machines, in addition to not adding any new computing end
point.
Emmanuel Le Roux,
SVP, Global head of HPC,
AI and Quantum, Atos, commented "As the European leader in
high-performance computing (HPC), Atos makes it a priority to
democratize HPC access and to widen its usages, especially through
ground-breaking hybridization applications. Our Nimbix suite is at
the heart of this strategy by allowing its users to access
on-demand HPC and AI resources, from anywhere, thanks to the power
of cloud. We are honored to announce today this partnership with
PetaSC Bulgaria and to have them onboard this pioneering offering.
The more resources will be available in our offer, the more
benefits will come out of it for scientists and researchers."
Peter
Statev, Sofia
Tech Park,
Chairman of Supervisory Board
of Consortium
“Petascale Supercomputer
Bulgaria”, said “We are glad to extend
our partnership with Atos and start using Atos Nimbix suite. It
allows us to offer on-demand part of Discoverer’s resources via so
called “HPC as a service” to new national and international
business customers, with unprecedented flexibility and deployment
speed. This is an important milestone for our team as it expands
our academic and business customers base, which we serve using
combination of different non- and for-profit access models."
Earl Joseph, CEO Hyperion
Research highlighted: “Cloud computing is expanding the
horizons of the HPC market and is an unprecedented opportunity to
further democratize its usages. The launch of Atos’ Nimbix
Supercomputing suite earlier this year came at the right timing to
support the growth of the cloud HPC market, by enabling scalable
on-demand computing and federating workloads. The expansion of this
offering to a large-scale machine such as the Bulgarian EuroHPC
Discoverer supercomputer will pave the way to new collaborations
across the world and will accelerate innovations through new HPC
models.”
From November 13th to November 18th 2022, Atos
will take part in SC2022: come meet our experts on booth #2809! You
can also join the official launch of the Atos next-gen hybrid HPC,
BullSequana XH3000, learn more about the new Nimbix Supercomputing
Suite and hear the latest developments within our ThinkAI
portfolio.

About Discoverer
supercomputer
Bulgarian supercomputer Discoverer was
inaugurated in October 2021 and was funded via a joint investment
of about EUR 11,5 million, 35% from the EuroHPC JU and 65% from the
Republic of Bulgaria. Discoverer design is based on ATOS
BullSequana XH2000 technology and is petascale supercomputer with
4.5 Petaflops performance. In June 2021 Disocverer was 91st fastest
supercomputer in the world. Discoverer provides HPC services to a
wide range of academic and industrial users, in Bulgaria, the
Balkan region, and Europe. Main mission of the Discoverer is to
support the development of applications across science, the public
sector, and industry, in domains such as health, ecology,
agriculture or material design, like the discovery of new drugs,
better understand molecular interactions, or facilitate climate and
seismic simulation.
