Supporting more sustainable research
Leading Swiss technical university EPFL empowers researchers with a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient supercomputer powered by Lenovo ThinkSystem and NVIDIA Accelerated Computing technology.
Customer Problem
With more and more researchers harnessing AI and ML to support their work, EPFL looked to refresh its high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure to meet demand and improve energy efficiency.
Lenovo Solution
