NAISS is by far the largest and most widely used research infrastructure in Sweden, with more than 7,600 users at some 30 universities and research institutes in 2023. We offer a qualified and decentralised support in cooperation with other universities to help users get maximum output from our resources.
NAISS is currently in the process of procuring a new supercomputer, Arrhenius, which will be installed in Linköping. It is projected to be up and running in 2025. 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 a so-called AI Factory in Sweden. The Swedish 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. Our budget for 2023 was SEK 150 million.
