SponsorsHelmholtz Association, Gauss Centre for Supercomputing
LocationForschungszentrum Jülich
Speed5.9 petaflops
RankingTOP500: 5th
PurposeScientific research

JUQUEEN was a Blue Gene/Q system supercomputer built by IBM.[1] Financed by the Helmholtz Association and the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS) in equal parts from federal funds and state funds from North Rhine-Westphalia,[2] it was put into operation in 2012 at the Forschungszentrum Jülich as the successor to the JUGENE supercomputer.

JUQUEEN was the fastest computer in Europe[3][2] and ranked 5th on the TOP500 list of the most powerful supercomputers.[4] It was also one of the most energy-efficient systems in the world for its time and ranked 5th on the Green500 list.[2] It consisted of 458,752 processor cores[4] and had a maximum computing power of 5.9 petaflops.[3]

JUQUEEN was used for several research projects, including the Human Brain Project.[5]

JUQEEN was shut down in May 2018 after six years of operation and replaced by the successor JUWELS.
