National Academic Infrastructure for Supercomputing in Sweden (NAISS)

NAISS, the National Academic Infrastructure for Supercomputing in Sweden, is providing researchers with high-performance computing (HPC) resources, storage capacity, and data services.

NAISS is by far the largest and most widely used research infrastructure in Sweden, serving some 7,500 users at 30 universities and research institutes in 2024. We offer a qualified and decentralised support in cooperation with other universities to help users get maximum output from our resources.

This autumn we are installing a new supercomputer, Arrhenius, in Linköping. It is projected to be up and running in early 2026. Arrhenius is co-funded by the Swedish Research Council and EuroHPC JU (Joint Undertaking), an initiative between European countries and private partners that aims to put Europe at the forefront of supercomputing.

In December 2024, EuroHPC JU approved a joint application by NAISS and RISE to set up an AI Factory in Sweden. The AI Factory, Mimer, will combine a state-of-the-art AI-optimised supercomputer with support for education, research and innovation.

NAISS is hosted by Linköping University. We are mainly funded by the Swedish Research Council, but also by our 12 partner universities.
