Örebro University in
This investment provides Örebro University with a central high-performance computing resource to support its Artificial Intelligence research, a field where the university has been active for than two decades. At the heart of the new system is a supercomputing server powered by tens of thousands of GPU (graphics processing unit) cores. The new system also includes an upgrade of an existing storage solution, which will be expanded with all-Flash arrays, adding capacity and increasing performance. The solution will be deployed in early 2020.
"Our new AI system from
The new system will immediately benefit ongoing projects in several research areas, including image analysis, robotics and crypto analysis, improving their access to massive computing power. By transferring data management and access control to the IT department, it also brings security benefits. For instance, centralised management is a key factor in the university's ability to comply with security and integrity requirements for research in healthcare and social sciences.
"It's very rewarding for us to assist Örebro University on their mission to build further on their expertise and grow as an AI research node. Our solution offers the latest in AI infrastructure, while also being cloud-ready and lets the University leverage the storage platform already provided by
"One of the reasons why
Örebro University has engaged in Artificial Intelligence research since the 1990s. At the Institution for Natural Sciences and Technology, about 60 scientists are working at the internationally-recognised research centre for Applied Autonomous Sensor Systems (AASS). In addition, Örebro University has initiated knowledge transfer and collaboration with businesses and public organisations within its region - for the purpose of sharing AI expertise and to make AI models more accessible as tools for business and government.
