Consortium Expands QRMI to Standardize Quantum-HPC Integration
A group including IBM, Pasqal, and major research labs has expanded QRMI, open-source software that lets supercomputers treat quantum processors as schedulable hardware alongside CPUs and GPUs. QRMI now works with systems like Slurm, Kubernetes, and PBS, unifying how quantum and classical resources get reserved, used, and released. It’s running at sites in Italy, Spain, the UK, and the US, and is moving toward becoming an industry standard.
- Consortium includes IBM, Pasqal, top labs, and supercomputers
- QRMI lets quantum chips act as schedulable HPC resources
- Now supports six leading workload managers, not just Slurm
- Deployed at major US, UK, Italian, and Spanish sites
- Feeds vendor-neutral standards effort via openQSE project
