Ambassador of the Republic of France to Bulgaria, HE Florence Robine, visited Sofia Tech Park, to find out more about the Bulgarian EuroHPC petascale supercomputer \u2018Discoverer\u2019, which is based on\u00a0Atos\u2019 BullSequana XH2000<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

In attendance were Jaroslav Vojt\u011bch, Head of HPC & Big Data of Atos in the Czech Republic; Hristo Hristov, Executive Director of Atos Bulgaria Competency Center; Milen Marinov, Executive Director of the Atos Global Delivery Center; Todor Mladenov, Executive Director of Sofia Tech Park; Simeon Stoyanov, Business Development Director at the Petascale Supercomputer \u2013 Bulgaria consortium, and Stephane Delahaye, Chairman of the French-Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIFB). The meeting was organized by Atos, the consortium \u201cPetascale Supercomputer \u2013 Bulgaria\u201d and \u201cSofia Tech Park\u201d AD.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the heart of the Bulgarian supercomputer, there is also a\u00a0<\/em>small part<\/em>of<\/em>\u00a0France! I am extremely proud that our country has contributed to the delivery of the Bulgarian supercomputer through Atos<\/em>, which is headquartered in France<\/em>. This is a strategic project of great importance not only for Europe but also for Bulgaria, which I believe will bring huge benefits for the development of science and technology, as well as for the economy<\/em>\u201c, said\u00a0Ambassador Robine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Bulgarian supercomputer will start operating in July. The project for the high-performance machine is implemented by the consortium \u201cPetascale Supercomputer \u2013 Bulgaria\u201d with a leading partner \u201cSofia Tech Park\u201d AD. The delivery, installation, and training of the team are entrusted to Atos, a global leader in digital transformation. The main goal of the supercomputer in Bulgaria is to support a number of research and innovation activities and to stimulate the industry based on the use of technologies for simulation, modeling, and optimization.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are about to complete all the configuration tests and\u00a0<\/em>to\u00a0<\/em>do the necessary training for the team in Sofia. Our goal is<\/em>\u00a0for<\/em>\u00a0Discoverer to enter the TOP500 ranking of supercomputers around the world in June<\/em>\u201c, commented\u00a0Jaroslav Vojt\u011bch,<\/strong>Head of HPC & Big Data at Atos in the Czech Republic<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe supercomputer will turn our country into a digital hub, which will include representatives\u00a0<\/em>from<\/em>\u00a0both the academic community and\u00a0<\/em>the\u00a0<\/em>business. The connection of Discoverer with the other data centers of the EuroHPC\u00a0<\/em>network\u00a0<\/em>will also enable effective collaboration with leading European researchers and specialists, as well as sharing of knowledge, technology and experience\u201d<\/em>,\u00a0<\/em>said\u00a0Todor Mladenov, CEO of Sofia Tech Park<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simeon Stoyanov from \u201cPetascale Supercomputer \u2013 Bulgaria\u201d pointed out that the training of personnel in the field of HPC will be a key for the future development of Bulgaria. The participants agreed that in order to have good results in this field, it is important to encourage cooperation between business and academia.<\/p>\n

The partnership with the French technology parks, as well as the desire to exchange information and experience in the field of innovation and business between Bulgaria and France, were among the other topics that the hosts from Sofia Tech Park discussed with Ambassador Robine.<\/p>\n
