Vienna starts with Supercomputer Musica: AI research on the advance!

Technische Universität Wien, 1040 Wien, Österreich - Austria is facing a technological breakthrough! The new high-performance calculator "Musica-Multi-Site Computer Austria" will be put into operation at the Technical University of Vienna in the coming days and is one of the 20 most powerful supercomputers worldwide. With an incredible computing power of over 40 billion operations per second (40,000,000,000,000,000), this computer will not only enable significant progress in AI research, but also simplify complex simulations in areas such as weather, climate and bioinformatics. Ernst Hornschmid from the Vienna University of Technology emphasizes that "Musica" is crucial in order to be able to survive in international competition in AI and quantum research.

financing and location distribution

The generous investment of 36 million euros, which is largely borne by the EU, underlines the commitment of the state of Upper Austria to create a model region for artificial intelligence. The hardware of the supercomputer will also be distributed at two other locations, the Johannes Kepler University in Linz and the University of Innsbruck, in order to significantly expand the resistance and the area of ​​application. State Councilor Markus Achleitner (ÖVP) describes the project as an important milestone in the Upper Austrian research landscape. This measure is part of a comprehensive strategy to position the region as a pioneer in the field of state -of -the -art technologies, which, according to TU Vienna, is of crucial importance for future research and development in Austria.

In summary, it can be said that "Musica" is not only a technological wonder, but also an important engine for the innovative strength in the region. The upcoming commissioning is a symbol of the progress and the ambitions of the Austrian scientists who want to play at the forefront of the international arena. A step that could significantly shape the future of research, according to tuwien.at .
