HPCwire magazine granted awards to projects utilizing LUMI

At the SC24 conference, HPCwire magazine’s annual Readers’ and Editors’ Choice Awards were presented. Among the winners are three projects that utilized the resources of the LUMI supercomputer.

HPCwire magazine’s 2024 Readers’ and Editors’ Choice Awards were granted to these projects that utilized the resources of the LUMI supercomputer:

  • The European Commission’s flagship project Destination Earthwas awarded in the category Readers’ Choice: Best Use of HPC in Physical Sciences.
  • The Destination Earth Climate Change Adaptation Digital Twin was awarded in the Readers’ Choice: Top HPC-Enabled Scientific Achievement category.
  • In addition, Norwegian startup DigiFarm was awarded in the category Editors’ Choice: Best HPC Collaboration (Academia/Government/Industry). The company has revolutionized agricultural processes using high-performance computing and artificial intelligence.

“We are extremely proud of these awards. This year is predicted to be the warmest in the measured history. LUMI’s computing power, used in initiatives such as Destination Earth and the Climate Change Adaptation Digital Twin project, is crucial in our fight against climate change. These projects already provide tangible tools to deepen our understanding of climate change and to enhance our ability to predict and adapt to its impacts. In addition, we are proud to see DigiFarm receive this award for their pioneering work in transforming agriculture using HPC and AI. The industrial use of HPC and AI will grow in the coming years with significant investments from the European Union and its Member States, Kimmo Koski, Managing Director of CSC.  

“I am delighted that Destination Earth, a flagship EU initiative, and LUMI have been recognised with not one, but two awards in the HPCwire Readers’ and Editor’s Choice Awards. These prizes are true recognition of the groundbreaking nature of Destination Earth. I am truly proud of all the achievements so far and look forward to the future as Destination Earth helps us tackle the climate challenges of today and tomorrow, said Roberto Viola, Director-General of the European Commission’s DG CONNECT.
