LUMI serves as a platform for international research cooperation and for the development of artificial intelligence and quantum technology. Part of the resources of the computer will focus on industrial research and development activities. LUMI\u2019s environmentally friendly solutions distinguish it from supercomputers known for their heavy use of energy. LUMI is a key tool in promoting digital and green transition throughout society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe title=\"LUMI is the new Europe\u2019s most powerful supercomputer!!!\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GGWFVOyTwUM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>LUMI is owned by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, and it is run by a consortium of 10 countries with long traditions and knowledge of scientific computing. Researchers all over Europe can apply for access to LUMI\u2019s resources, which means that all of Europe can benefit from this new research instrument. LUMI has been set up in Kajaani, in one of the world\u2019s greenest data centres, which is hosted by CSC \u2013 IT Center for Science Ltd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013Today marks a major step for Europe\u2019s digital and green transformation. LUMI is now the fastest and most energy-efficient supercomputer in Europe, and one of the most powerful ones in the world. Thanks to its massive computing capacity, LUMI will enable scientific breakthroughs in for instance medicine and climate research at a much faster pace. It could be in the development of vaccines, diagnosis of cancer, or mitigation of the effects of climate change. This is a great example of the enormous potential of artificial intelligence to improve our lives, Margrethe Vestager, Executive Vice-President of the European Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013The societal challenges for which we use supercomputers exist on a global scale. The extent of these challenges, and the work required to tackle and transform them into innovation opportunities, requires much collaboration across many branches of academia and countless research teams. It therefore can only make sense that one of the biggest and most important research infrastructures should be based on extensive collaboration. In this, EuroHPC\u2019s LUMI consortium collaboration is a pioneering effort to strengthen European competitiveness and digital sovereignty while promoting global research collaboration, says Anders Dam Jensen, Executive Director of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 LUMI is an ecosystem for high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and data-intensive research, which enables breakthroughs in several branches of academic research. In addition, a fifth of LUMI\u2019s capacity is targeted to companies that are getting the opportunity to use methods of next-generation high-performance computing and to give rise to new skills and innovation, says Managing Director Kimmo Koski, of CSC, which operates LUMI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LUMI, Europe\u2019s most powerful supercomputer, is also a partner for quantum computers<br>LUMI is Europe\u2019s most powerful supercomputer. LUMI was ranked third on the latest Top500 list of the world\u2019s fastest supercomputers, which was released at the end of May. LUMI\u2019s massive computing capacity is primarily based on its many graphics processors, or GPU processors. They are especially suitable for use with various methods involving artificial intelligence, especially for deep learning. The LUMI supercomputer gives European researchers access to a world-class tool to help gain understanding of complex phenomena. Quantum computers need supercomputers alongside them to harness their capacity to the right targets as a part of the research process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Finland possesses a significant quantum technology knowledge hub \u2013 also on European level. The combination of high performance and quantum computers strengthens the attractiveness of the quantum ecosystem in Finland and in Europe. Jointly they create new kind of opportunities for scientific computing as well as for industrial research and innovations, states Mika Lintil\u00e4, Minister of Economic Affairs and Employment in Finland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quantum computers therefore do not replace traditional supercomputers. Instead, the technologies are linked inseparably, giving possibility to develop hybrid solutions that utilizes the best parts of classical supercomputing and quantum computing. LUMI has so far been linked successfully with two quantum computers: the Swedish Chalmers\/Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology QAL 9000 \u2013 and to Finland\u2019s first quantum computer, the Helmi operated by VTT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LUMI is the first pre-exascale supercomputer of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking and is now Europe\u2019s most powerful supercomputer.
