About SiPearl…

Founded in 2019 and financed by the European Union, SiPearl embodies Europe’s dream of mastering the technological heart of its supercomputers: the microprocessor.

SiPearl is building Rhea, the world’s first energy-efficient #HPC-dedicated microprocessor designed to work with any third-party accelerator (#GPU, #AI, #quantum). It will help Europe solving major challenges in medical research🧬, artificial intelligence, security 🛡️, energy management and climate 🌱while reducing its environmental footprint.

Since our creation in 2019, we host 170 collaborators in 6 offices:

• France (Maisons-Laffitte, Massy, Grenoble, Sophia Antipolis),
• Germany (Duisburg),
• Spain (Barcelona).

⚡️ After a successful series A in 2023 (90M €), SiPearl has recently won an emblematic contract to equip Europe’s first exascale supercomputer, JUPITER, owned by EuroHPC and operate by Jülich Forschungszentrum (Germany). And as the dream of a European machine, capable of one exaflop (one billion billion calculations per second) thanks to a European microprocessor, is becoming reality, SiPearl is willing to hire 150 engineers by the end of 2024!
