The award-winning work focuses on #quantum #chemistry methods. The resources of the #supercomputer Joliot-Curie, hosted and operated at the TGCC CEA were mobilized.
On the occasion of this event from the headquarters of Atos, Philippe LAVOCAT, CEO of GENCI, recalled that this award reflects a shared commitment with Atos, "it shows the capacity of the ecosystem (high performance computing #HPC, #quantum, #IA) to put its resources at the service of scientific excellence [....] This 2022 edition of the Joseph Fourier Prize shows once again the importance of the contribution of #fundamental research and #science to the resolution of societal challenges, and today in particular, that of #decarbonation
This focus testifies to the constant attention paid to the energy optimization of simulation processes by researchers on the applications side, and by industrials and agencies such as GENCI on the hardware side. The ambition to put computing power at the service of scientific excellence is shared by GENCI and ATOS. This is also why we are collaborating within EuroHPC on the EUPEX Pilot projects and the European Processor Initiative, designed to optimize the architectures of future #Exascale-class machines."
