A new competition has been initiated to promote artificial intelligence research using the JUPITER supercomputer, Europe's first exascale system. Organized by the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing and the Jülich Supercomputing Centre, the competition aims to foster the development of generative AI models. Submissions are open from January 17 to March 17, 2025, with successful projects gaining access to significant computational resources.
JUPITER is set to revolutionize AI research with its unprecedented computing power, exceeding one quintillion operations per second. The competition will provide around 15 million GPU hours for researchers to train AI models, particularly those focused on generative AI. This initiative not only enhances Germany's position in AI technology but also aims to create societal benefits through effective knowledge transfer.
