The Academic Computer Centre ‘Cyfronet’ at AGH University in Kraków is implementing the AI Factory project to become the first Artificial Intelligence Factory in Poland. Thanks to the government’s and the European Union’s financial support of zł 70 m ($17.5 m), the Centre’s main supercomputer, Helios GPU, will have its computing power strengthened to become the AI Factory core. At present, it is the fastest Polish supercomputer, 69th on the world TOP500 supercomputers list, and 7th on the Green500 (energy efficiency) list. TOP500 includes a total of 8 Polish supercomputers, including three others from Cyfronet: Athena, Helios CPU, and Ares. The world’s fastest supercomputer, El Capitan, at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Oak Ridge (US), has been built on the same platform, HPE Cray EX, as Helios. The AI Factory project, ending in 2025, aims to increase Poland’s technological independence.
