Pancaked Water Droplets Help Launch Europe’s Fastest Supercomputer

JUPITER became the world’s fourth fastest supercomputer when it debuted last month. Though housed in Germany at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), Georgia Tech played a supporting role in helping the system land on the latest TOP500 list.

In November 2024, JSC granted Assistant Professor Spencer Bryngelson exclusive access to the system through the JUPITER Research and Early Access Program (JUREAP).

By preparing Europe’s fastest supercomputer for launch, the joint project yielded valuable simulation data on the effects of shock waves in medicine and transportation.
