Bull has, for many years, provided solutions offering high performance and availability, and has strong competencies in the development of architectures, which make it possible to optimise data management. This experience is a significant asset in the field of High Performance Computing, which is increasingly faced with problems in balancing capacities of calculation, data access and storage.
HPC is one of the fast growing activities of Atos under the brand Bull. Bull has already demonstrated the results of its collaborative programmes, for example with CEA: after Tera 100, the first petaflops-scale supercomputer ever designed and developed in Europe, Bull and CEA are now working on the Tera 1000 co-design programme, a pre-exascale supercomputer that prepares the implementation of an exascale-class supercomputer. Another example is Bull’s participation to the Mont-Blanc project, which gave rise to the commercial Arm-based blade BullSequana X1310.
