Finland will host one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world

One of the most competitive supercomputers in the world will be placed in Kajaani, Finland.

According to the CSC Datacenter that will host the new supercomputer, the new machine will be about ten times more powerful than the most powerful supercomputer currently in Europe.

Computing power is required in leading research in a wide range of disciplines, including artificial intelligence.

This type of supercomputing and data infrastructure helps position Europe as one of the world leaders in supercomputing. It allows European researchers to access top-level computing resources.

The decision to place the supercomputer in Finland was made by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, a high performance computing initiative supported by the European countries and the European Union.
