World-leading supercomputer LUMI to be built in Finland

LUMI’s superpowers

LUMI will be based on Hewlett Packard’s HPE Cray EX supercomputer.  Its capability of 552 x 10¹⁵ floating-point operations per second (flops) will represent a significant step towards exascale computing, which refers to the capacity to compute 10¹⁸ flops and is the estimated processing power of the human brain.

LUMI will pack a storage of 117 petabytes and be configured with a bandwidth of 160 terabytes per second, enough to accommodate the entire global internet traffic twice.
