E4 Computer Engineering will build the European supercomputer MeluXina-AI

The hardware architecture is based on Dell Technologies servers equipped with liquid-cooled NVIDIA GB200 NVL4 systems and equipped with Blackwell architecture, distributed across 252 nodes for a total of 1,008 GPUs, capable of expressing an estimated computing power exceeding 20 peak Exaflops. The distinctive element of the system lies in the software infrastructure, designed to enable a multi-user GPU-as-a-Service model with container-native isolation and dynamic workload scheduling, integrating proprietary Urania and ExaMon solutions for governance and observability.

“A machine with over 20 peak ExaFLOPs is only as good as the software that makes it accessible”. Says Giordano Mancini, CTO of E4 Computer Engineering. “On MeluXina-AI we have built a cloud-native multi-tenant platform where each user gets GPU-as-a-Service with isolation and dynamic scheduling, while Urania and ExaMon guarantee observability and governance of the entire infrastructure. It is the integration between computation, data and orchestration that makes the difference, and it is the ground on which E4 has built value for twenty years.

“This contract with the EuroHPC JU rewards twenty years of E4’s work in HPC and AI”, declared Cosimo Damiano Gianfreda, CEO of E4 Computer Engineering. “With MeluXina-AI we bring NVIDIA Blackwell architectures to Europe together with our Urania platform, for efficient and secure computing governance. We are proud to contribute, with LuxProvide and the consortium, to an infrastructure that will support startups, SMEs, research and enterprises across Europe, strengthening European technological sovereignty in AI.”

Active from April 2025, the Luxembourg AI Factory is a hub for AI innovation in Europe, with a focus on finance, space, cybersecurity and the green economy. The system will also guarantee secure operations and connectivity with external data platforms and other European AI Factories, consolidating continental technological sovereignty in key sectors such as finance, cybersecurity, the green economy and space research.
