Leonardo is built on architecture designed and developed by French high performance computing companyAtos.

Itll officially go online and start solving problems on the 24thof November.

Leonardo was built as part of The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU).

The fourth fastest supercomputer on Earth is a quantum-ready juggernaut from France

Whats arguably most interesting about Leonardo is that it was apparently designed with upgradability in mind.

Earlier this year the EuroHPC laid outfuture-facing plansinvolvingquantumprocessing upgrades for its existing supercomputers.

Going forward, Leonardo is slated for some fancy quantum upgrades.
