Sweden to upgrade Berzelius supercomputer with Nvidia AI systems


STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – Sweden will upgrade its Berzelius supercomputer using Nvidia’s latest artificial intelligence (AI) systems to aid in understanding various diseases such as cancer and make it among the world’s fastest AI supercomputers.
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – Sweden will upgrade its Berzelius supercomputer using Nvidia’s latest artificial intelligence (AI) systems to aid in understanding various diseases such as cancer and make it among the world’s fastest AI supercomputers.
The system has also developed large language models capable of drafting a speech or answering questions in Swedish, sporting 20 billion parameters, a measure of an artificial network’s capacity.
Researchers plan to develop a model with 175 billion parameters over time which would also be fluent in Danish and Norwegian, Nvidia said in a blog post.
Funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, the Berzelius supercomputer was unveiled in 2021 at Linköping University featuring 60 of the fastest AI systems from Nvidia. The upgrade will add another 34 systems.
It will also help in image and video recognition, and autonomous systems used in factories.

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines programmed to think and learn. AI systems can perform tasks such as understanding natural language, recognizing patterns, and making decisions.
Large language models are AI systems trained on vast amounts of text data to understand and generate human-like text. They can perform tasks like translation, summarization, and answering questions.
Image recognition is a technology that enables computers to identify and process images, allowing them to recognize objects, faces, and scenes within digital images.
Video recognition is the process of analyzing video content to identify objects, actions, or events. This technology is used in various applications, including surveillance and content moderation.
