The increasing demand for computational power to support advanced AI calculations has reached unprecedented levels. To address this, the Berzelius supercomputer—a critical national infrastructure resource available to all researchers across Sweden—plays a pivotal role in meeting these growing needs. This unique computational power has enabled significant advancements in various research areas, which now include material science, medical imaging, and visual perception.
The Berzelius supercomputer will benefit from the addition of 16 NVIDIA DGX™ H200 systems, with 128 NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPUs to the NVIDIA DGX SuperPODTM, bringing its entire architecture up to 110 nodes and 880 GPUs for efficient accelerated computing. Additionally, the Eviden team will integrate the VAST Data Platform, to take advantage of VAST’s NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD-certified enterprise NAS offering to help the Berzelius capabilities achieve higher sustainability, greater performance, and highly efficient data management.
The national AI supercomputer Berzelius, funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and installed at the Linkoping University, has already enabled breakthroughs in a number of disciplines. For example, the system has been used to train the large-scale Swedish language model GPT-SW3, accelerated research on protein folding, trained new systems for computer vision, and generated synthetic medical images for the training of doctors.
