JUWELS (Jülich Wizard for European Leadership Science{{cite web |url=https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/juwels-new-supercomputer-julich-supercomputing-centre |title=JUWELS, the new supercomputer from Jülich Supercomputing Centre |date=16 April 2018 |publisher=European Commission}}) is a supercomputer developed by Atos and hosted by the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) of the Forschungszentrum Jülich.
Supercomputer
It is capable of a theoretical peak of 70.980 petaflops (the speed is for JUWELS Booster Module){{Cite web|title=November 2020 {{!}} TOP500|url=https://www.top500.org/lists/top500/2020/11/ | access-date=2024-02-01|website=top500.org}}{{Cite web|date=2020-11-17|title=Europe climbs the top 500 supercomputer list|url=https://www.eenewseurope.com/news/europe-climbs-top-500-supercomputer-list|access-date=2021-06-02|website=eeNews Europe|language=en}}{{Cite web|title=Jülich's Upgraded Supercomputer - JUWELS - Setting New Benchmarks|url=https://www.hpcwire.com/off-the-wire/supercomputer-made-in-julich-setting-new-benchmarks/|access-date=2021-06-02|website=HPCwire|language=en-US}} and it serves as the replacement of the now out-of-operation JUQUEEN supercomputer. JUWELS Booster Module was ranked as the seventh fastest supercomputer in the world at its debut on the November 2020 TOP500 list.{{Cite web|last=Peckham|first=Oliver|date=2021-06-07|title=What's New in HPC Research: JUWELS, MEEP, WRENCH & More|url=https://www.hpcwire.com/2021/06/07/whats-new-in-hpc-research-juwels-meep-wrench-more/|access-date=2021-06-10|website=HPCwire|language=en-US}} The JUWELS Booster Module is part of a modular system architecture and a second Xeon based JUWELS Cluster Module ranked separately as the 44th fastest supercomputer in the world on the November 2020 TOP500 list.
JUWELS Booster Module uses AMD Epyc processors with Nvidia A100 GPUs for acceleration. University of Edinburgh contracted a deal to utilise JUWELS to pursue research in the fields of particle physics, astronomy, cosmology and nuclear physics.{{Cite journal|last=Krause|first=Dorian|date=2019-02-06|title=JUWELS: Modular Tier-0/1 Supercomputer at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre|url=http://jlsrf.org/index.php/lsf/article/view/171|journal=Journal of Large-scale Research Facilities JLSRF|language=en|volume=5|pages=135|doi=10.17815/jlsrf-5-171|s2cid=86391912|issn=2364-091X|doi-access=free}}{{Cite web|last=Delaney|first=James|date=2021-06-02|title=Europe's most powerful computer to uncover secrets of universe in Edinburgh|url=https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/edinburgh-university-buys-europes-most-20726132|access-date=2021-06-02|website=edinburghlive|language=en}}
In 2021, JUWELS Booster was among eight other supercomputing systems which participated in the MLPerf HPC training benchmark,{{Cite web|title=NVIDIA: MLPerf AI Benchmarks|url=https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/data-center/mlperf/|access-date=2021-12-14|website=NVIDIA|language=en-gb}} which is the benchmark developed by the consortium of artificial intelligence developers from academia, research labs, and industry aiming to unbiasedly evaluate the training and inference performance for hardware, software, and services used for AI.{{Cite web|date=2021-11-19|title=MLPerf Issues HPC 1.0 Benchmark Results Featuring Impressive Systems (Think Fugaku)|url=https://www.hpcwire.com/2021/11/19/mlperf-issues-hpc-1-0-benchmark-results-featuring-impressive-systems-think-fugaku/|access-date=2021-12-14|website=HPCwire|language=en-US}}{{Cite web|date=2021-11-18|title=Measuring the AI performance of Europe's fastest supercomputer|url=https://www.scientific-computing.com/news/measuring-ai-performance-europes-fastest-supercomputer|access-date=2021-12-14|website=Scientific Computing World|language=en}} JUWELS also ranked among the top 15 on the worldwide Green500 list of energy-efficient supercomputers.
The Simulation and Data Laboratory (SimLab) for Climate Science at Forschungszentrum Jülich uses JUWELS to detect gravity waves in the atmosphere by running computing programs to continuously download and compute on the operational radiance measurements from the NASA's data servers.{{Cite web|date=2022-01-21|title=Supercomputer Analysis Shows the Atmospheric Reach of the Tonga Eruption|url=https://www.hpcwire.com/2022/01/21/supercomputer-analysis-shows-the-atmospheric-reach-of-the-tonga-eruption/|access-date=2022-02-07|website=HPCwire|language=en-US}}
