Also the two pilot systems developed in a Pre-Commercial Procurement during the HBP Ramp-up Phase were integrated into the HPAC Platform:

JULIA [out of production] Jülich Supercomputing Centre, Forschungszentrum Jülich KNL-based compute nodes Developed by Cray
JURON [end of production: end of Nov. 2020] Jülich Supercomputing Centre, Forschungszentrum Jülich KNL-based POWER8′ + P100 interconnected via NVLink Developed by a consortium of IBM and NVIDIA
