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

Dublin, Eire and Paris, France – seventeen December 2020

Atos nowadays announces it will deliver its first GPU-accelerated Atos Quantum Discovering Machine Enhanced (Atos QLM E), the world’s highest-performing commercially out there quantum simulator, to the Irish Centre for Substantial-End Computing (ICHEC).

The Atos QLM E will be integrated with the Irish countrywide supercomputer ‘Kay’ and outfitted with a selection of quantum software programming instruments. As a hybrid HPC-Quantum Computing surroundings, the integrated Kay-Atos QLM E system will provide the Quantum Programming Eire (QPI) Initiative for conducting R&D and countrywide-degree competencies enhancement actions in quantum technologies by ICHEC as properly as other Irish organizations in tutorial, organization and public sector.

Supplying up to twelve instances far more computation speed than the unique Atos QLM, the Atos QLM E is also an integral part of the ‘NEASQC’ job, in the €1 bn European flagship quantum initiative, of which Eire is a spouse along with eleven other European companies and research labs, and coordinated by Atos.

As soon as the Atos QLM E is delivered on-premise, Atos will supply a speedy-monitor instruction plan and continue to greatly enhance the technique throughout its life span to make certain that it provides the operation necessary in this speedy-going self-discipline of quantum computing.

Prof. Jean-Christophe (“JC”) Desplat, Director at ICHEC, said: “As Ireland’s significant general performance computing authority, we’re fully commited to making use of the electrical power of technology to resolve some of the toughest issues across public, tutorial and organization sectors. Doing work with a quantity of partners across Europe, we look ahead to employing the Atos QLM E connected for R&D on a quantity of scientific and sector-suitable quantum computing use-cases and supporting scientific breakthroughs in significant-general performance 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 important milestone in our Quantum Plan. We look ahead to supporting ICHEC on their quantum journey, assisting them examine with their consumers the large prospective that quantum computing delivers. The answer will supply a scalable, foreseeable future-proof, countrywide framework for the porting of hybrid purposes, and for the instruction and competencies enhancement of Irish scientists, and ICHEC’s partners across Europe.”

Atos QLM E has been optimized to dramatically decrease the simulation time of hybrid classical-quantum algorithms simulations, major to more quickly development in application research.

Atos, a pioneer in quantum

In 2016, Atos introduced ‘Atos Quantum’ an ambitious plan to foresee the foreseeable future of quantum computing. As a end result of this initiative, Atos was the first corporation to supply a quantum noise simulation module inside of its Atos QLM supply. Atos QLM is remaining utilized in a lot of nations around the world around the globe including Austria, Finland, France, Germany, India,  Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Senegal, UK and the United States, empowering important research courses in several sectors like sector or electricity. Not too long ago, Atos launched “Q-score”, the first common quantum metrics reference, relevant to all programmable quantum processors.
