supercomputer, artifical intelligence
Project is focused on supporting the development and adoption of artificial
intelligence in the Czech Republic, with an emphasis on practical applications,
technological infrastructure, and skills development, enabling deeper integration
of the Czech AI ecosystem into the European network of AI Factories and other AI
initiatives. The main component of the project is the acquisition and operation
of the new KarolAIna supercomputer, a computing infrastructure optimized for AI
workloads, which will build on the successful petascale system Karolina installed
and managed by IT4Innovations national supercomputing center at VSB. This
infrastructure is designed to serve a broad spectrum of users, including
industry, public administration, research teams, and startups, providing access
to advanced computational resources necessary for AI model training, deployment,
and experimentation.
