Summary
FHNW’s School of Computer Science officially opened its HPC Lab on May 28, positioning it as a new base for computationally intensive AI, simulation and data-analysis work.
The lab combines high-performance GPU and CPU clusters, scalable storage and specialized software environments, giving students, researchers and companies infrastructure to train AI models and run complex simulations.
Around 90 guests attended the launch, where FHNW said the facility will also test emerging hardware such as dataflow systems, wafer-scale engines, neural processing units and energy-efficient AI accelerators.
FHNW said the lab is built into its AI and High Performance Computing curriculum and industry collaborations, while emphasizing efficiency, monitoring and lower-resource use as HPC’s environmental footprint grows.
