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

Dublin, Ireland and Paris, France – 17 December 2020

Atos nowadays announces it will produce its 1st GPU-accelerated Atos Quantum Learning Machine Enhanced (Atos QLM E), the world’s best-carrying out commercially readily available quantum simulator, to the Irish Centre for Significant-Conclude Computing (ICHEC).

The Atos QLM E will be integrated with the Irish countrywide supercomputer ‘Kay’ and geared up with a wide range of quantum software package programming instruments. As a hybrid HPC-Quantum Computing surroundings, the integrated Kay-Atos QLM E system will serve the Quantum Programming Ireland (QPI) Initiative for conducting R&D and countrywide-stage techniques development actions in quantum technologies by ICHEC as perfectly as other Irish companies in tutorial, business and public sector.

Featuring up to 12 situations a lot more computation speed than the original Atos QLM, the Atos QLM E is also an integral ingredient of the ‘NEASQC’ job, in the €1 bn European flagship quantum initiative, of which Ireland is a spouse together with 11 other European providers and investigation labs, and coordinated by Atos.

The moment the Atos QLM E is delivered on-premise, Atos will deliver a speedy-observe instruction program and continue to improve the program throughout its life span to guarantee that it delivers the performance necessary in this speedy-moving discipline of quantum computing.

Prof. Jean-Christophe (“JC”) Desplat, Director at ICHEC, explained: “As Ireland’s substantial efficiency computing authority, we’re committed to utilizing the electric power of know-how to resolve some of the toughest difficulties throughout public, tutorial and business sectors. Working with a variety of associates throughout Europe, we glimpse forward to utilizing the Atos QLM E connected for R&D on a variety of scientific and business-relevant quantum computing use-cases and supporting scientific breakthroughs in substantial-efficiency computing.”

Agnès Boudot, Senior Vice President, Head of HPC & Quantum at Atos, explained: “As the 1st Atos QLM E deployed globally, this partnership marks an vital milestone in our Quantum System. We glimpse forward to supporting ICHEC on their quantum journey, supporting them investigate with their customers the huge opportunity that quantum computing offers. The solution will deliver a scalable, future-proof, countrywide framework for the porting of hybrid apps, and for the instruction and techniques development of Irish researchers, and ICHEC’s associates throughout Europe.”

Atos QLM E has been optimized to drastically lower the simulation time of hybrid classical-quantum algorithms simulations, main to faster progress in software investigation.

Atos, a pioneer in quantum

In 2016, Atos launched ‘Atos Quantum’ an bold program to anticipate the future of quantum computing. As a result of this initiative, Atos was the 1st organization to offer you a quantum sounds simulation module in just its Atos QLM offer you. Atos QLM is remaining utilised in several nations all over the world including Austria, Finland, France, Germany, India,  Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Senegal, UK and the United States, empowering key investigation courses in different sectors like business or energy. Just lately, Atos launched “Q-score”, the 1st common quantum metrics reference, relevant to all programmable quantum processors.
