LUMI-AI supercomputer contract awarded to Bull for €387.8 million
The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking and the LUMI AI Factory consortium have signed a €387.8 million contract with the French company Bull to deliver the LUMI-AI supercomputer. The system is scheduled for deployment in the second half of 2027 at the CSC – IT Center for Science facility in Kajaani, Finland.
LUMI-AI is designed to significantly expand Europe’s artificial intelligence infrastructure, providing a tenfold increase in AI capacity and nearly doubling the high-performance computing (HPC) capability of the existing LUMI supercomputer. The system will support industrial innovation, scientific research, AI training, inference, and large-scale simulations.
The supercomputer will utilize AMD Instinct MI430X GPUs and sixth-generation AMD EPYC 256-core processors. Additional technical partners include IBM, which will provide storage solutions, and Nokia, which will supply data center networking. The project is funded equally by EuroHPC JU and a consortium comprising Finland, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Norway, and Poland.
