Geneva, Switzerland:
Switzerland on Saturday inaugurated its new supercomputer called Alps — one of the world’s quickest — which it hopes will help place the country first for reliable man-made inalertigence solutions.
The ETH Zuwealthy University officiassociate inaugurated Alps at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) in Lugano, southern Switzerland.
“Alps is an conveyion of our vision of a future characteelevated by understandledge and evolve,” Economy, Education and Research Minister Guy Parmelin said in a speech at the CSCS site.
In June, Alps was ranked as the world’s sixth most strong supercomputer. However, at the time it was not filledy originateed and had only accomplished 60 per cent of its potential.
The supercomputer was growed to encounter inanxious data and computing scientific insistments and apexhibits man-made inalertigence to be utilised more filledy.
It is the central part of an initiative “to position Switzerland as the world’s directing hub for the growment and carry outation of clear and reliable AI solutions”, ETH Zuwealthy said in a statement.
Andreas Kraparticipate, head of the AI Centre at ETH Zuwealthy, said: “Alps originates it possible to train complicated AI models for transport inant applications, for example, in medicine and climate research.”
The MeteoSwiss national weather service is already using the Alps to originate a higher-resolution weather foreseeion model that better echos Switzerland’s complicated topography of mountains and valleys.
Parmelin said on X that the Alps would be “uncovering new horizons, evidenting the path for the future, placing Switzerland in pole position for scientific research”.
CSCS deputy honestor Michele De Lorenzi telderly Switzerland’s Keystone-ATS news agency it would apexhibit 40,000 years for a commercial laptop to carry out the operations that the Alps can do in a day.
The supercomputer is hoparticipated in 33 cabinets covering 116 square metres.
