At ISC, JUPITER Shows What Exascale Science Looks Like

Why it matters

JUPITER demonstrates the infrastructure backbone powering next-generation AI and scientific computing. For leaders building compute-intensive AI systems, this is a real-world case study in exascale architecture—the hardware layer that will determine who can train frontier models.

Key signals

  • JUPITER: Europe's first exascale supercomputer
  • Located at Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany
  • Powered by NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchips
  • Uses NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand networking
  • Four production research projects live on platform
  • ISC Hamburg 2026 showcase event

The hook

Europe's first exascale supercomputer is live. Here's what happens when you combine 10 exaflops with NVIDIA's latest silicon.

JUPITER, Europe’s first exascale supercomputer at Germany’s Forschungszentrum Jülich, runs on NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchips and NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand networking — and it’s had a busy year. As the international supercomputing community gathers at ISC in Hamburg this week, four projects running on JUPITER point to what exascale computing can actually do: map the human […]
