Descrizione del progetto
Integrare simulatori quantistici con supercomputer tradizionali
L’obiettivo del progetto HPCQS, finanziato dall’impresa comune per il calcolo ad alte prestazioni europeo (EuroHPC JU), è integrare i simulatori quantistici nei supercomputer europei esistenti. Utilizzando un approccio innovativo volto a preparare l’Europa per l’era post scala exa, il progetto integrerà due simulatori quantistici (ciascuno dei quali controlla circa oltre 100 bit quantistici) in due supercomputer. Il primo supercomputer è il Joliot Curie di GENCI, l’organizzazione nazionale francese per il calcolo ad alte prestazioni, mentre il secondo è il JUWELS del Jülich Supercomputing Centre tedesco. Grazie all’integrazione dell’hardware quantistico con le risorse di calcolo tradizionali, gli enti di ricerca e le aziende saranno in grado di risolvere sfide complesse in ambiti quali la progettazione di farmaci e materiali, la logistica e il trasporto.
Obiettivo
The aim of HPCQS is to prepare European research, industry and society for the use and federal operation of quantum computers and simulators. These are future computing technologies that are promising to overcome the most difficult computational challenges. HPCQS is developing the programming platform for the quantum simulator, which is based on the European ATOS Quantum Learning Machine (QLM), and the deep, low-latency integration into modular HPC systems based on ParTec’s European modular supercomputing concept. A twin pilot system, developed as a prototype by the European company Pasqal, will be implemented and integrated at CEA/TGCC (France) and FZJ/JSC (Germany), both hosts of European Tier-0 HPC systems. The pre-exascale sites BSC (Spain) and CINECA (Italy) as well as ICECH (Ireland) will be connected to the TGCC and JSC via the European data infrastructure FENIX. It is planned to offer quantum HPC hybrid resources to the public via the access channels of PRACE. To achieve these goals, HPCQS brings together leading quantum and supercomputer experts from science and industry, thus creating an incubator for practical quantum HPC hybrid computing that is unique in the world. The HPC-QS technology will be developed in a co-design process together with selected exemplary use cases from chemistry, physics, optimization and machine learning suitable for quantum HPC hybrid calculations. HPCQS fits squarely to the challenges and scope of the call by acquiring a quantum device with two times 100+ neutral atoms. HPCQS develops the connection between the classical supercomputer and the quantum simulator by deep integration in the modular supercomputing architecture and will provide cloud access and middleware for programming and execution of applications on the quantum simulator through the QLM, as well as a Jupyter-Hub platform with safe access guarantee through the European UNICORE system to its ecosystem of quantum programming facilities and application libraries.
