AMD and Eviden unveil Europe's second exascale system — EPYC 'Venice' and Instinct MI430X powered system breaks the ExaFLOP barrier

AMD and Eviden have revealed plans for Europe's second exascale system, the Alice Recoque supercomputer, which will utilize AMD's EPYC 'Venice' CPUs and Instinct MI430X accelerators to surpass 1 ExaFLOPS in performance. The system, costing over €554 billion, will cater to AI and scientific research projects and feature AMD's upcoming processors and accelerators, as well as FPGAs for enhanced flexibility. The supercomputer will be installed in France and funded by EuroHPC JU, the Digital Europe Programme, and the Jules Verne consortium, supporting various research initiatives across Europe. With the expected introduction of AMD's new components in 2026, the Alice Recoque supercomputer is likely to be operational by 2027 or 2028.
