Canada Joins EuroHPC Supercomputing and Quantum Network

Oct 31, 2026
Canada has joined the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, giving its researchers access to European supercomputing, AI and quantum computing resources.

The European Commission announced on its website that Canada joined the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking on October 30 during a summit between the EU and Canada in Montreal. The Government of Canada becomes a participating state in EuroHPC, giving Canadian researchers access to European supercomputing, AI and quantum computing resources.

Canadian scientists will be able to work with European researchers on AI, high performance computing and quantum projects. EuroHPC has procured 12 supercomputers and is overseeing the rollout of 19 AI Factories and 13 AI Factory Antennas, as well as a European quantum computing infrastructure.

The EU and Canada also agreed to cooperate on Destination Earth, an EU project that creates a digital model of the planet. The work will include AI powered climate modelling for weather forecasting and climate resilience.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
