Exploring Bavaria's cutting-edge computing infrastructure and its role in AI 🔎 🔹 €55 Million Boost for Computing Power With a €55 million investment from the Bavarian State Government, the computational resources at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) and Erlangen National High Performance Computing Center (NHR@FAU) Center are being significantly upgraded. This addition of state-of-the-art GPUs will enhance processing capabilities, enabling more complex AI experiments, and accelerating breakthroughs across various scientific disciplines. 🔹 SuperMUC-NG: Powering AI Excellence Bavaria is home to Germany's second most powerful supercomputer with 26.9 PetaFlop/s, SuperMUC-NG, located in Garching. It is soon to be joined by its younger ‘twin’, SuperMUC-NG2. This infrastructure supports complex AI applications of various Bavarian research instututions, driving innovations across various sectors from healthcare to autonomous driving. 🔹 Expansion of State Data Centers Adding to the existing network of seven state-run data centres across all of Bavaria, a new facility is being constructed in Marktschwaben. This expansion is crucial for supporting the growing computing demands of the public sector. The new centre will provide vital infrastructure for governmental applications, ensuring that Bavaria remains at the forefront of technological application. 🔹 Creating Jobs and Driving Growth Bavaria’s compute infrastructure is a catalyst for both scientific and economic growth. 20,000 people have worked in Bavarian computing centres in 2022, and due to advantageous environmental conditions like the low chance of extreme weather events and good economic outlooks, the sector is expecting continued expansion. By prioritizing advanced infrastructure, Bavaria is not only boosting its technological capabilities but also strengthening its economic and strategic position in the global AI landscape!
