The National Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS) has reported that it will soon have the EuroHPC quantum computer in its facilities. This is excellent news for all the potential that this tool offers and that, without a doubt, brings with it very powerful solutions. It was the European Union Supercomputing Consortium that selected Spain as one of the lucky countries.
But dowhat will happen to the MareNostrum 5 computer that they already use at the National Supercomputing Center in Barcelona? It will not be left in the background, but will work in tandem with the EuroHPC quantum computer. Well, it will integrate it without any inconvenience. Thus, these two resources will offer much better results or, at least, these are the expectations that are held about this fact.
What is the EuroHPC quantum computer?
The EuroHPC quantum computer is a resource that supports scientific research because it contains specific applications for work and studies that are being carried out. How is it different from a traditional PC? In the large amount of data that it is capable of storing and analyzing, as this is vital when carrying out investigations. Therefore, it is clear that it will be a great advance for all.
We will soon see the positive impact that the Barcelona National Supercomputing Center will have a EuroHPC quantum computer. Finally, researchers will have a highly effective resource that will allow them to undo all the limitations they had with current devices. Although MareNostrum 5 was a good option, with EuroHPC its possibilities are multiplied.
What are the objectives of having this computer?
Despite all the scientific advantages of having the EuroHPC quantum computer, the truth is that the objectives of having participated, along with other countries, in the possibility of Spain being selected had some specific goals. For example, promote work in Spain on quantum computing to continue investigating and expanding everything related to this.
Also, now have the EuroHPC quantum computer reinforces the role of Spain in Europe. Well, there have only been 6 lucky countries that will soon be able to enjoy the EuroHPC quantum computer. Something that gives them a competitive advantage over those who could not be the winners. Therefore, this means that Spain is in a privileged and important position, something that is crucial.
Likewise, the EuroHPC quantum computer seeks to attract more investment to Spain. We are living in turbulent times of uncertainty and price increases, so any way to attract attention and get more investors is great. Thanks to this, Spain can be considered privileged in this regard and has not yet begun to take advantage of this super computer.
Expectations about the EuroHPC quantum computer
What is expected of the EuroHPC quantum computer is to improve investigations by offering experts a valuable resource to solve problems with greater agility and precision. This can be of vital importance in the medical sector, since being able to find the solution to numerical formulas can enable faster drug development with less room for error. Something essential.
We will still have to wait a bit to receive the EuroHPC quantum computer that will arrive in the second half of next year. For now, Spain has made a millionaire investment which has been co-financed 50% by the European Union. In a situation as complicated as the current crisis is, without a doubt, the fact that this computer can attract investors is something that is eagerly awaited.
