The next supercomputing chip for Europe’s homegrown Exascale supercomputer will come next year, according to an updated product roadmap.
The 2025-bound Rhea-2 chip will succeed the Rhea-1 chip, the ARM-based CPU powering Jupiter, Europe’s first Exascale supercomputer, which is under construction and will go online next year.
The Rhea-2 chip will come from French company SiPearl and is part of a European initiative to develop homegrown CPUs, AI, embedded and automotive chips. The EU-funded effort, called the European Processor Initiative (EPI), was the driving force behind Rhea-1.
