Abstract. The basic parallel versions of the Danish Eulerian Model (UNI-DEM) has been implemented on the new petascale supercomputer DISCOVERER, installed last year in Sofia, Bulgaria by the company Atos. DISCOVERER is part of the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC), which is building a network of 8 powerful supercomputers across the European Union (3 pre-exascale and 5 petascale).The results of some scalability experiments with the basic MPI and a hybrid MPI-OpenMP parallel implementations of UNI-DEM on the new Bulgarian petascale supercomputer DISCOVERER (in EuroHPC network) are presented here. They are compared with similar earlier experiments performed on the Mare Nostrum III supercomputer (petascale too) at Barcelona Supercomputing Centre -- the most powerful supercomputer in Spain by that time, upgraded currently to the pre-exascale Mare Nostrum V, also part of the EuroHPC JU infrastructure.
