Europe will get its first exascale supercomputer next year, called JUPITER, and it should allow simulations that are currently possible only on a few machines worldwide
“Europe is planning”, not a company, not a national agency nor an EU agency, but the whole of Europe? How does that work? I mean we’re pretty much at war, but Russia and Belarus is in on it? How much are Andorra, Monaco, and The Sovereign Order of St. John contributing? What about Overseas France? Do all 13 territories kick in, or is it only the ones that are part of the EU?
Also isn’t a new super computer record set several times each year?
Every 3.171 years all EU citizens get together on a field near Gelnhausen in Germany and discuss current projects. Everyone brings snacks and drinks and all tasks are distributed evenly.
Plus, this would still only be the fastest supercomputer that the public knows about… There are others, but security agencies don’t share stats on them.
Yeah, I heard y’all are gonna do some sort of European Hands Across America where you’re gonna collectively yeet one computer straight up towards the sun. Its airtime will tell you how fast it went. Anything more than 9 seconds is a Super Computer. More than 13 seconds is a Super Duper Computer.
My cousin told me that one kid at his school back in 2009 did their own computer throw at home that stayed in the air for 5 seconds and that’s when entire companies were only getting 3.4 seconds max.
Then Europe is a bunch of countries wearing a bikini and lots of accessories. There’s no one part that covers all of it, some accessories strongly clash with each other and you have random bracelets everywhere.
“The US plans to be the biggest exporter of silicon in 2030”.
At least you boiled it down to a single country, with national agencies and a government that makes strategies. Like a strategy to be the biggest exporter of silicon, which can result in laws and regulations encouraging silicon exports.
But a whole continent building a super computer? That’s just a bad title. And reading the linked article doesn’t give you any additional information, without signing up for a newsletter?!?
Europe has government and agencies on the European scale. They often make strategies and fund initiative like this with European government funds. They might also influence European legislation to encourage things.
Europe has government and agencies on the European scale.
Since when? AFAIK there’s a European Union and then there’s Europe the continent. Lots of countries in Europe are not part of the union, and given the suffix of your instance you should be aware of this.
I’m very aware that the EU doesn’t encompass all countries in Europe, but when reading a story where they ascribe a action to the continent I read the word Europe as a synonym for EU. It’s fairly common, especially in an American magazine.

European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU). 26/27 EU members participating. and some non EU members…
oh, you didnt hear? yeah all of us europeans got together and unanimously decided we might give the US a run for their money
Did you guys just bake a really long bagette and invite everyone over to discuss the proposal?
Every 3.171 years all EU citizens get together on a field near Gelnhausen in Germany and discuss current projects. Everyone brings snacks and drinks and all tasks are distributed evenly.
Can’t even read the article and find out because it’s paywalled.

Any article mentioning “Europe” is almost always 99% about Germany.
And to be honest, I don’t think they need that supercomputer. We have plenty of them worldwide.
Dude, do you think every time something happens in the US, that all states are in on it?
“The US plans to be the biggest exporter of silicon in 2030”. Do you read that the same way?
The US is a country. Europe isn’t.
The US is 50 countries in a trenchcoat really, some of which would go to war with eachother outside the coat.
Then Europe is a bunch of countries wearing a bikini and lots of accessories. There’s no one part that covers all of it, some accessories strongly clash with each other and you have random bracelets everywhere.
So the EU parliament isn’t a thing then?
The EU doesn’t include a bunch of countries on the continent of Europe
A pedantic point. Europe has become a synonym for EU in journalism.
It’s an EU strategy.
What makes you think it’s some form of nefarious strategy and not simply lazy journalism?
A lot of European countries aren’t in the EU. Turkey, the UK, Norway and a bunch more.

This is true, I was wrong. My bad.
