The French CEA selects Atos’ BullSequana XH3000
Paris, France
– November
15, 2022 - Atos today announces a
contract for its latest supercomputer, the BullSequana XH3000, with
the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission
(CEA)'s Military Applications Directorate (CEA/DAM). With this very
first installation worldwide, the CEA/DAM is preparing for its next
computing milestones to meet the simulation needs of the French
nuclear defense program. With the BullSequana XH3000, the CEA/DAM
benefits from an advanced system with unprecedented performance and
efficiency to prepare for the Exascale challenge.
This latest addition to the BullSequana X family
will unleash the full power of hybrid computing combined with
artificial intelligence up to Exascale. Thanks to its standardized
modular architecture and ‘OpenSequana’ program, the BullSequana
XH3000 brings even more flexibility with an open, scalable and
future-proof platform. It will include the latest and upcoming
computing and interconnect technologies including processors (CPUs)
and graphics accelerators (GPUs) and will even be ready for quantum
processing units (QPU) and new types of accelerators as soon they
become available.
On top of providing the best performance, the
BullSequana XH3000 is highly energy-efficient and provides the
leading Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) on the market. Atos' next
generation patented Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) system provides 70%
more cooling power than the previous generation. This solution
brings unique efficiency performance: capturing more than 97% heat
dispersion with 40°C data center inlet water temperature allowing
real free cooling.
With its HPC systems manufactured in France,
Atos, the only European manufacturer, supports private and public
organizations, such as the CEA/DAM, in their European sovereignty
challenges by enabling them to take full advantage of their data
while maintaining the highest level of security in all
circumstances.
Emmanuel Le Roux, SVP,
Global Head HPC, AI and Quantum,
Atos commented "The CEA/DAM was instrumental in helping
design and develop our newest BullSequana XH3000 and they will be
delivered the first production unit. Atos and the CEA/DAM have been
working hand in hand since 2004, we are honored by this mark of
confidence that reinforces a long-standing relationship."
Vincenzo Salvetti, Head
of the CEA’s Military Applications
Directorate (CEA/DAM) said "The XH3000 is
the result of a co-design collaboration between the CEA/DAM and
Atos teams. The installation of this product in a production
environment will allow us to support our business applications and
to take full advantage of these new technologies’ performance."
Addison Snell, CEO Intersect360
Research, said “With BullSequana XH3000, Atos is
demonstrating it can deliver supercomputing performance at the
highest level of scale, combining best-of-breed technologies for
scientific computing, data science, and artificial intelligence,
all manufactured in the EU. The CEA is leading the way for
next-generation innovation for Europe and for the world.”
From November 13-18 2022, Atos will be at
SC2022: come meet our experts on booth #2809. You can also join the
BullSequana XH3000, official launch ceremony, learn more about the
new Nimbix Supercomputing Suite and hear the latest developments
within our ThinkAI portfolio.

About CEA
The CEA is a key player in research, development
and innovation in four main areas: energy transition, digital
transition, technology for the medicine of the future and defence
and security. With a workforce of 20,000 people, based in nine
sites equipped with very large-scale research infrastructures, the
CEA actively participates in collaborative projects with a large
number of academic and industrial partners, in France, Europe and
worldwide. According to the Clarivate 2019 ranking, it is the first
French research organization in terms of the number of patents
filed in France and Europe.
The CEA's Military Applications Division
(CEA/DAM) takes charge of defence and security missions. The DAM is
responsible for the design, manufacture and through-life support of
the nuclear warheads that equip France’s sea- and airborne
deterrence forces and of the nuclear reactors and reactor cores on
French Navy submarines and aircraft carrier. The DAM also
contributes to national and global security through the technical
support it provides to the authorities relative to the prevention
of nuclear proliferation and terrorism in chemical, biological,
radiological, nuclear and explosives domains (CBRN-E) and
cybersecurity. For more information, visit: www.cea.fr
