Atos boosts supercomputing power by 10 for Spanish State Meteorological Agency AEMET
Paris (France), Madrid (Spain), February 23, 2021
Atos announces that it has been chosen by the Spanish State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) to supply and set up its computing and storage know-how, by way of the tender “Contracting of Offer by way of leasing without having the choice to buy a Supercomputing Program for the AEMET”. Primarily based on the BullSequana supercomputing architecture from Atos, the new supercomputer will present almost 10 moments a lot more computing ability than the present-day one particular which was mounted in the 2014.
This new supercomputer will fortify and develop AEMET’s present-day computing capabilities to increase investigation in different parts these as temperature forecasting, local climate improve, wave prediction and assist its collaboration with worldwide organizations.
