About us

(För information om NAISS på svenska se denna sida.)

The National Academic Infrastructure for Supercomputing in Sweden (NAISS) is an infrastructure organisation for high-performance computing, storage, and data services for academic users in Sweden. NAISS is hosted by Linköping University but acts independently with a national perspective and responsibility.

NAISS is funded mainly by the Swedish Research Council (VR). Our user support is organised in a decentralised branch structure in cooperation with other Swedish universities.

In 2024-2025 we are procuring and installing a new supercomputer, Arrhenius, which will be installed at Campus Valla in Linköping. This is a joint project with EuroHPC, which is financing 35 percent of the machine.

To date, NAISS has signed partnership agreements with the following 11 universities:

  • Chalmers University of Technology
  • Karolinska Institutet
  • Linköping University
  • Luleå University of Technology
  • Lund University
  • Royal Institute of Technology / KTH
  • Stockholm University
  • Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
  • Umeå University
  • University of Gothenburg
  • Uppsala University
