A new supercomputer with a DKK 100 million price tag is expected to be ready for use by researchers in April 2019.<\/p>\n

It has been named Computerome 2.0,<\/em> and the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) and the Technical University of Denmark have shared the investment.<\/secret><\/p>\n

Computerome 2.0 replaces Computerome 1.0 which only managed to run for a few years before it was so successful that there was a need for a new and even more powerful model. Computerome 1.0 was the world’s 121st fastest when it was commissioned in 2014.<\/p>\n

Computer is \u2018sharing economy\u2019<\/h3>\n

The Computerome 2.0 will be up to five times faster<\/secret> than its predecessor, says S\u00f8ren Brunak, who is one of the initiators of the Computerome 2.0 project, and who is also professor and research director at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Centre for Protein Research at UCPH.<\/p>\n

\n

Designed by experts<\/p>\n

The supercomputer experts Peter L\u00f8ngreen<\/strong> from UCPH and Ali Syed<\/strong> (DTU), as well as S\u00f8ren Brunak designed the original Computerome 1.0. It is the knowledge of users’ needs for big data that is important for the design of the new system.<\/p>\n

Computerome 2.0 will include 60 graphics processing units, or GPU\u2019s, which are suitable to run applications in artificial intelligence and machine learning, where algorithms learn from the data that they are introduced to.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“An impetus for its development is virtualisation technology, where you can put a lot of small computers into one big one. You can use the supercomputer as a big computer and as several small virtual computers that can, say, run Microsoft and Linux at the same time. In this way, we get the best of all worlds. The supercomputer is a kind of sharing economy,” he says.<\/p>\n

Strength in personal, sensitive data<\/h3>\n

Computerome 2.0 is basically designed for calculations within the life sciences. But also the fields of public health and medical research have exponentially growing data volumes.<\/p>\n

In Computerome 2.0 a high level of data security is built in, says S\u00f8ren Brunak:<\/p>\n

“Computerome 2.0 is good at working with personal, sensitive data. It can in fact handle things from the medical and legal community, where you, say, work on court rulings which contain sensitive data. It can also be for research, where the researcher is to look at registers in contexts, because the personally sensitive data can be difficult for an individual researcher to process safely.”<\/p>\n

Researchers book themselves in<\/h3>\n

S\u00f8ren Brunak would like to emphasise that Computerome 2.0 as a general rule is an infrastructure project, which the universities make available, and which departments and researchers can buy themselves into. It is not therefore possible to say beforehand what the Computerome 2.0 exactly is meant for.<\/p>\n

The old Computerome 1.0 was a huge success, and was completely overbooked<\/p>\n

Initiator S\u00f8ren Brunak, University Of Copenhagen<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“The old Computerome 1.0 was a huge success and was completely overbooked, even though many people said that that it would not be fully utilized. We were also uncertain about it ourselves,” says S\u00f8ren Brunak.<\/p>\n

Computerome 1.0 currently has 1,300 users from throughout the country, and S\u00f8ren Brunak can see how many new users are added every month. These statistics helped put the construction of Computerome 2.0 in motion.<\/p>\n

It is the knowledge of users’ needs for big data that is important for the design of the new system.<\/p>\n<p>Computerome 2.0 will include 60 graphics processing units, or GPU\u2019s, which are suitable to run applications in artificial intelligence and machine learning, where algorithms learn from the data that they are introduced to.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>“An impetus for its development is virtualisation technology, where you can put a lot of small computers into one big one. You can use the supercomputer as a big computer and as several small virtual computers that can, say, run Microsoft and Linux at the same time. In this way, we get the best of all worlds. The supercomputer is a kind of sharing economy,” he says.<\/p>\n<h3>Strength in personal, sensitive data<\/h3>\n<p>Computerome 2.0 is basically designed for calculations within the life sciences. But also the fields of public health and medical research have exponentially growing data volumes.<\/p>\n<p>In Computerome 2.0 a high level of data security is built in, says S\u00f8ren Brunak:<\/p>\n<p>“Computerome 2.0 is good at working with personal, sensitive data. It can in fact handle things from the medical and legal community, where you, say, work on court rulings which contain sensitive data. It can also be for research, where the researcher is to look at registers in contexts, because the personally sensitive data can be difficult for an individual researcher to process safely.”<\/p>\n<h3>Researchers book themselves in<\/h3>\n<p>S\u00f8ren Brunak would like to emphasise that Computerome 2.0 as a general rule is an infrastructure project, which the universities make available, and which departments and researchers can buy themselves into. It is not therefore possible to say beforehand what the Computerome 2.0 exactly is meant for.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The old Computerome 1.0 was a huge success, and was completely overbooked<\/p>\n<p class=\"quotee\">Initiator S\u00f8ren Brunak, University Of Copenhagen<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>“The old Computerome 1.0 was a huge success and was completely overbooked, even though many people said that that it would not be fully utilized. We were also uncertain about it ourselves,” says S\u00f8ren Brunak.<\/p>\n<p>Computerome 1.0 currently has 1,300 users from throughout the country, and S\u00f8ren Brunak can see how many new users are added every month. These statistics helped put the construction of Computerome 2.0 in motion.<\/p>\n<p>Nyheder.ku.dk gives an insight into Computerome 2.0 ‘s<a href=\"https:\/\/nyheder.ku.dk\/alle_nyheder\/2018\/12\/ny-supercomputer-placerer-danmark-i-oeverste-liga-inden-for-life-science\/\"> many applications here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Translated by Mike Young<\/em><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"Newsletter","lang_select":"Dansk","identifier":"Newsletter","headline":"Receive a weekly newsletter in your inbox","button_text":"Tilmeld nu","class":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}]},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":46,"name":"Science","slug":"science","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":46,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":831,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":15,"name":"News Article","slug":"news_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":15,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":11489,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/billedefravideopaayoutubecomputerome2015afalisyed-1280x667.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79786"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79786\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":79791,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79786\/revisions\/79791"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
