NVIDIA officially announced on June 10, 2025, that the JUPITER supercomputer, installed at the prestigious Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany, has achieved the status of the fastest and most powerful computing system in Europe. This major announcement, made during the ongoing ISC High Performance 2025 conference, was confirmed in joint press releases from NVIDIA and the research center itself. JUPITER is the first European system of the so-called exascale class (capable of performing over a quintillion floating-point operations per second) and is built on the innovative NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchip (GH200) architecture. This cutting-edge platform tightly integrates an energy-efficient Arm-based Grace CPU and a powerful Hopper architecture GPU into a single module, providing unprecedented performance and memory bandwidth for tackling the most complex scientific and AI challenges. The vast computational power of JUPITER will be directed towards solving a wide range of fundamental scientific problems: from high-fidelity climate change modeling and new materials development to breakthrough research in medicine, genomics, drug discovery, and for training giant foundational AI models. The launch of JUPITER not only provides the European scientific community with a world-class computational tool but also significantly strengthens Europe's technological sovereignty in the strategically vital field of supercomputing. This success also once again demonstrates NVIDIA's dominant position in the HPC and AI hardware market, where its technologies are becoming the de facto standard for the world's most powerful computing systems.
