LUMI Supercomputer

The LUMI Consortium

ACC Cyfronet AGH coordinates Polish activities in the LUMI Consortium which built a pre-exascale supercomputer. The Finnish-led consortium, apart from Poland, also includes Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.

The LUMI Supercomputer

LUMI (Large Unified Modern Infrastructure) was installed at the CSC data center in Kajaani, Finland. It provides European science and the economy with 380 PetaFlop/s (380 * 10¹⁵ floating point operations per second) of sustained performance (550 PetaFlops of theoretical performance), which corresponds to the power of 1.5 million modern laptops with good configuration, and 117 PB of disk resources, specialized partitions and scientific software packages. By performing more computations in less time and processing models that are more precise than ever before, European scientists will be able to conduct research in areas previously unavailable to them. This, in turn, will lay the foundations for innovation and building a data economy. The LUMI supercomputer is comparable in size to a tennis court and is 100% powered by renewable energy.

Access to LUMI for Polish researchers

Thanks to fact that Poland become a member of the LUMI Consortium, Polish scientists are able to use the LUMI supercomputer. This gives a chance to implement large, complex computational projects that require extremely precise modeling and processing of even more data in a shorter time than before. The access is provided by the PLGrid infrastructure: in order to take advantage of the LUMI computing grants, you must have an account in the PLGrid Portal.
