Title graphic showing the HammerHAI logo and the AI Factories emblem of the European Union. Headline reads: “EuroHPC JU Signs Contract to Deploy AI Supercomputer HammerHAI.”
Graphic with blue background titled “Advancing AI Innovation with HammerHAI.” Text explains that HammerHAI will be the first standalone AI-optimized supercomputer procured under the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking AI Factories initiative. The system will support advanced AI, machine learning, and data science workloads for European startups, SMEs, industry, and research. A cloud-native software stack will allow easy migration between cloud systems and HammerHAI. Delivery is planned for Q2 2026 with operations expected in the second half of 2026.
Graphic titled “The HammerHAI System Architecture.” An image of an HPE liquid-cooled rack system is shown alongside specifications: 215 NVIDIA GB200 NVL-4 compute nodes (860 GPUs), Axelera AI nodes with 9 AIPUs, 13 NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core GPUs with 24 GB memory, and 5 NVIDIA RTX A1000 large-memory nodes with 4 TB memory. The system includes 10 PB VAST Data storage and networking with NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand (800 Gbit/s) and NVIDIA Spectrum-X (800 Gigabit Ethernet). Peak AI inference performance is listed as 15 exaflops.
