Danish universities want to use the new supercomputer to extend the use of eScience to a broad spectrum of research areas for general purposes, as well as for research projects and groups with special computing needs.
The project includes the University of Southern Denmark (Syddansk Universitet), the University of Aarhus (Aarhus Universitet), the University of Copenhagen (Københavns Universitet), the University of Aalborg (Aalborg Universitet), Roskilde University Center (RUC), the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Copenhagen Business School (CBS), the IT University (ITU), the State Library (Statsbiblioteket) and the Royal Library (Det Kongelige Bibliotek).
The national HPC center was established by DeIC in collaboration with the University of Southern Denmark. The supercomputer centers physical location is at the University of Southern Denmark, which is responsible for the project. The solution provides unprecedented compute density and not least low power consumption in relation to performance, which has a major impact on operating costs over the minimum of five years that the system will run.
