The latest upgrading of the supercomputer Berzelius at LiU has now been completed. Its doubled capacity enables researchers across Sweden to tackle current and future challenges in areas such as materials science, bioinformatics and machine learning.

Sweden has been selected to host one of seven European AI Factories that will strengthen the EU’s competitiveness in the field. The AI Factory combines a state-of-the-art AI-optimised supercomputer with support for education, research and innovation.

Professor Erik Lindahl will be the new director of the National Academic Infrastructure for Supercomputing in Sweden (NAISS) – the most widely used research infrastructure in the country.

Emissions from the transport sector can be drastically reduced with more streamlined trucks. Researchers have calculated, and road carrier owner Erik Alfredsson has built an initial version of the transport vehicle of the future.

In all probability, at least one of the heart’s valves – the mitral valve – functions entirely differently than previously believed. Neil Ingels, professor at Stanford School of Medicine is now putting out all the scientific data on the Internet.

¸£Àû¼§ has been selected to host a new supercomputer – Arrhenius. It will be one of the world’s fastest supercomputers and a resource for researchers in academia, industry and the public sector across Europe.

Researchers at LiU have for the first time been able to use information from computer tomography images to simulate the heart function of an individual patient. Some of the modelling methods they use have been developed in the motor industry.

Swedish research has now gained access to the first 600 nodes of the new supercomputer Tetralith, which will be the most powerful computer in the Nordic region when it comes fully online this autumn. Researchers at LiU also have access to Sigma.

A model to simulate heart function in individual patients has won first prize as the best academic contribution to a global competition in 2019. The model is the brainchild of Jonas Lantz and several other researchers at LiU.

Swedish researchers will gain access to significantly higher computing power when the most powerful computer in the Nordic region, Tetralith, is installed at National Supercomputer centre. The maximum speed is estimated to be just over 4 petaflops.
