룩셈부르크 세계 최고 수준의 고성능 컴퓨터 호스팅
EuroHPC는 세계적인 유럽의 고성능 컴퓨터 (HPC) 생태계 개발을 목표로 하는 EU 공동 사업이며 본부는 룩셈부르크에 위치하고 있다. 룩셈부르크는 EuroHPC의 지원 하에 설립된 고성능 컴퓨터 중 하나를 소개하기 위해 선정되었고 EuroHPC는 최근 페타 규모의 슈퍼 컴퓨터에 대한 호스팅 제공을 위해 EU 회원국을 대상으로 제안을 요청했다. 룩셈부르크의 슈퍼컴퓨터는 주로 중소기업 및 스타트업의 비즈니스 요구 사항을 충족하는데 사용할 것이다.
10 petaflops per second
Luxembourg submitted a proposal developed in collaboration between the Ministry of the Economy and LuxConnect. After an evaluation process, the proposal was selected, and Luxembourg will now receive European co-funding for setting up its own HPC.
The supercomputer will be installed at the LuxConnect datacentre in Bissen in central Luxembourg and be operational in 2020. It will have a capacity of 10 petaflops (or 10,000,000,000,000,000 computing operations) per second.
Data-driven innovation
“It is essential that we establish an independent European digital industry and a digital data value chain in the EU,” said Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Economy Étienne Schneider. “The establishment of the European HPC network, in which Luxembourg will actively participate, is a crucial step in this direction.”
The Minister also pointed out that this initiative is well aligned with Luxembourg’s newly presented strategy for data-driven innovation. “We are supporting the digital transformation of priority economic sectors in order to develop a sustainable and trusted data economy.”
