The new high performance Computer JUQUEEN at Forschungszentrum Juelich has reached the new top position as Europe's fastest supercomputer and 5th fastest in the world by the current TOP500 List, published recently. As the first supercomputer in Europe to reach a compute performance of 5 Petaflop/s – equating to 5 quadrillion operations per second – the system opens up new possibilities for research intensive grand projects and a wider spectrum of participating work groups.
