Upgraded artificial intelligence technologies propelled by a brand-new supercomputer in Dresden
The city of Dresden is set to become a leading hub for artificial intelligence (AI) news with the construction of the new supercomputer, "Elbjuwel." This ambitious project is being developed by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf and ParTec AG.
The "Elbjuwel" supercomputer is designed to provide sufficient computing power for AI, high-performance computing, and quantum computing. This powerful tool aims to enable Germany and Europe to achieve digital sovereignty, ensuring that regions can fully exploit the potential of their own AI applications.
Prof. Sebastian M. Schmidt, Scientific Director of HZDR, emphasizes that the planned platform aims to give new impetus to the development of AI technologies, train skilled workers, and support companies in mastering digitization challenges. The new supercomputer could serve as a magnet for researchers and talents in the MINT field, strengthening Saxony's position as a leading AI location.
The AI demonstration and transfer center ProKI Dresden, associated with the Technical University of Dresden, plays a crucial role in this endeavour. ProKI Dresden supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in integrating AI into production, particularly in metalforming technology. Demonstrators like the LOTTA intelligent drilling machine are used for this purpose.
Bernhard Frohwitter, CEO of ParTec AG, believes that having computing power on one's own premises is crucial for close collaboration and maximizing synergies. Without their own supercomputer, regions may not fully exploit the potential of their own AI applications, according to Frohwitter.
The new platform's goal is to significantly facilitate access to AI for industry, SMEs, and scientific institutions, enabling technological innovations. With the new supercomputer "Elbjuwel," researchers in Dresden and the surrounding area will soon be able to perform calculations and simulations on-site, providing on-site calculations and simulations capabilities for researchers in the region.
The construction of the "Elbjuwel" supercomputer aims to attract researchers and talents in the MINT field, creating a platform for industry and research. This project is expected to boost the development of AI technologies, foster collaboration, and support companies in mastering digitization challenges.
