AMD (AMD) and Eviden Tuesday reported their selection to build Alice Recoque, a next-generation supercomputer to support the need for high-performance computing (HPC) and AI, serving as an AI factory.
Alice Recoque will be France’s first and Europe’s second exascale supercomputer, led by Grand équipement national de calcul intensif, operated by Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA), and powered by next-generation AMD AI and HPC compute technologies.
This project, representing an overall cost of 544 million euros, is funded by EuroHPC JU, with a budget stemming from the Digital Europe Programme (DEP), and the Jules Verne Consortium, led by France through GENCI and CEA, with the participation of Netherlands IT cooperation SURF and Greece with GRNET.
