\"\"Sofia has been chosen as one of eight sites across the EU that will host the first European supercomputers. The new high-performing computing machine will be located at Sofia Tech Park.<\/span><\/p>\n

The project is the largest EU investment in Bulgaria related to scientific infrastructure. It would cost 18 million euro, <\/span>12 million euro of which will be paid by Bulgaria and the European Commission will pay<\/span> six million euro.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The supercomputer in Sofia will be capable of executing at least 4 million billion operations per second. The other 7 supercomputing machines will be located in Ostrava (Czechia), Kajaani (Finland), Bologna (Italy), Bissen (Luxembourg), Minho (Portugal), Maribor (Slovenia), and Barcelona (Spain).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The EU project is part of a pioneering continent-wide plan to compete with the USA, China, and Japan as major international players in supercomputing. The deployment of <\/span>world-class <\/span>supercomputing and data infrastructure should be completed by the end of 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

The eight sites that will host the world-class supercomputers will support Europe’s researchers, industry and businesses in developing new applications in a wide range of areas, such as designing medicines, fighting climate change, testing and simulations in the aviation and automotive industries, data analytics, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and blockchain.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
