EuroHPC has selected seven consortia to establish and operate the first artificial intelligence factories across Europe.
The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC) has selected seven proposals to establish and operate the first AI factories across Europe. This is a milestone for Europe in building an ecosystem to train advanced AI models and develop AI solutions.
With an investment of 1.5 billion euros, the selected artificial intelligence factories involve 15 member states r will be housed at major research and technology hubs across Europe, precisely in the following cities:
Barcelona, Spain: "BSC AIF" at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center
Bologna, Italy: "IT4LIA" at CINECA - Bologna Tecnopolo
Kajaani, Finland: "LUMI AIF" and CSC
Bissen, Luxembourg: "Meluxina-AI" and LuxProvide
Linköping, Sweden: "MIMER" at Linköping University.
Stuttgart, Germany: "HammerHAI" at the University of Stuttgart.
Athens, Greece: "Pharos" at GRNET
The seven AI factories involve 15 member states and two EuroHPC participating states. Portugal, Romania, and Turkey have joined the BSC AIF; Austria and Slovenia have joined ITA4LIA; and Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Norway, and Poland have joined the AIF UMI.
New supercomputers optimized for artificial intelligence will be developed at five of the selected sites (Finland, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and Sweden). The artificial intelligence factories in Spain and Finland will also be equipped with an experimental platform, which will provide a state-of-the-art infrastructure for the development and testing of innovative artificial intelligence models and applications.
Artificial intelligence factories will double the computing capacity of EuroHPC, meeting specific needs and enhancing European capabilities in artificial intelligence.
