Today’s Atos’ supercomputers transform energy into computing generation is more energy-efficient than the previous one. power in a highly efficient way. like the patented direct warm water cooling system, each new supercomputers. Thanks to a steady stream of green innovations (Megaflops/W) on the Linpack test, used to rank Their energy efficiency has also clearly been attested by results grades the most energy-efficient supercomputers in the world. been listed among the leaders in the world Green 500 list which For many years, Atos’ bullx energy-aware supercomputers have computing capacity of 25 petaflops, and with respect to capacity, prototype, which will be fully operational in 2017, will have a which was turned on in 2010. electricity consumption 20 times lower than the “Tera 100” Department of Energy for new system designs. The new monitoring based on multiple and fine-grain sensors. The generation will include high-definition energy efficiency with the environmental standards set by bodies such as the US fixed an upper limit of 20 MW per supercomputer. A limit in line consumption and costs down, the Atos Exascale program has capable of reaching the exaflop in the 2020s. To keep energy Atos is also designing of the future European supercomputer
