"Alps makes it possible to train complex AI models for important applications, for example, in medicine and climate research," said Andreas Krause, who heads the AI Centre at ETH Zurich.
"With its cloud-native architecture, we can create versatile software-defined clusters (vClusters) tailored to the specific needs of user communities, ensuring the maintenance of the necessary confidentiality," explained Thomas Schulthess, director of the CSCS.
Alps has been developed to meet scientific research's extreme data and computing requirements and will position Switzerland as the world's leading hub for transparent and trustworthy AI solutions.
In the June 2024 Top500 list of supercomputers, Alps ranked sixth in the world for computing power, and this was only its first expansion stage.
