Jupiter solidifies Germany's digital self-rule
On September 5th, 2025, Germany took a significant step forward in high-performance computing with the inauguration of its latest supercomputer, "Jupiter." The event, which took place in Jülich, was attended by Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Federal Research Minister Dorothee Bär.
The high-performance computer, originating from Forschungszentrum Jülich, marks a technological leap for the EU and positions Germany in the top tier of high-performance computers. "Jupiter" is Europe's first Exascale supercomputer, a title that signifies its ability to perform a billion billion calculations per second.
The download of "Jupiter" is not just a technological milestone, but also a strategic move to strengthen Germany's digital sovereignty. The computer is intended for the further development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a field Germany hopes to boost with this new resource.
The download of "Jupiter" is available as a PDF and is designed to facilitate access for both startups and established companies. This open access could potentially attract top talent to Germany, further bolstering its position in the global AI landscape.
Dr. Ralf Wintergerst, President of Bitkom, commented on the significance of "Jupiter," stating that it strengthens Germany's digital sovereignty. He added that the computer's availability could improve conditions for the development of AI, potentially giving AI development in Germany a significant boost.
The inauguration of "Jupiter" could also attract top talent to Germany, as the country continues to invest in its digital future. With this new supercomputer, Germany is moving into the top tier of high-performance computers, and the download of "Jupiter" could further boost AI development in the country.
