Eviden & JUPITER: Leading the Future of Modular HPC-AI Infrastructure

This blog post was originally published on Eviden.com prior to the launch of Bull.com.

The Challenge

Rapid innovation in HPC and AI infrastructure—new CPUs, accelerators, and sustainability demands—has made designing leadership-class systems increasingly complex. Success now depends on more than just powerful hardware:

• Anticipating scientific workloads
• Efficient space, power, and cooling planning
• Seamless system integration and testing
• Ongoing operations with sustainability in focus
  
  

Eviden's integrated approach

Bull delivers turnkey, modular, energy-efficient HPC solutions, culminating in its work on JUPITER, Europe’s first exascale supercomputer.

Chosen by the EuroHPC JU and Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), Bull supplied:

• BullSequana XH3000 compute systems
• Modular Data Center (MDC) housing over 125 compute racks
• Full design, build, and delivery in just 15 months

Bull’s manufacturing excellence

Bull’s Angers, France facility supports:

• AI-driven testing
• Cobots for smart manufacturing
• Green energy: solar panels, heat reuse, rainwater systems
• Certifications: BREEAM (sustainability), 
  Osmoz (wellbeing)
  
  
  

The Modular Data Center advantage

• Faster Deployment: Pre-built modules reduce setup time
• Lower Costs: Avoid expensive retrofitting
• Scalability: Easily add modules as needs grow
• Sustainability: Efficient cooling and power use
  
  

Looking forward

JUPITER proves that modularity + partnership = readiness for the future. The collaboration between JSC, ParTec, and Bull is a model for innovation. In an era of rapid change, modular infrastructure is no longer optional—it’s essential.
