We are pleased to announce that Softquantus has been awarded 30,000 GPU hours on LUMI-G through the EuroHPC AI Factory Fast Lane call. This allocation marks an important milestone in our journey to develop cutting-edge quantum-inspired AI solutions.
The Fast Lane Program
The EuroHPC AI Factory Fast Lane program is designed to provide rapid access to high-performance computing resources for innovative AI projects. Unlike traditional allocation calls that can take months, the Fast Lane program offers accelerated review and deployment, enabling companies to quickly prototype and validate their ideas.
Award Details
- 30,000 GPU hours on LUMI-G
- 3-month allocation period
- Fast-track technical assessment
Our Project Goals
With this allocation, we aim to validate key components of our quantum-inspired machine learning framework. The Fast Lane resources will allow us to:
- Prototype quantum-inspired optimization algorithms for neural network training
- Benchmark performance against traditional optimization methods
- Prepare technical documentation for larger-scale proposals
Why LUMI?
LUMI is one of the world's most powerful supercomputers, featuring state-of-the-art AMD MI250X GPUs. Its location in Finland and commitment to sustainability—powered entirely by renewable hydroelectric energy—aligns with our values as a European technology company.
"This Fast Lane award gives us the agility to rapidly iterate on our quantum-inspired algorithms. The ability to access world-class GPU infrastructure within weeks rather than months is a game-changer for startups like ours."
Looking Ahead
The results from this Fast Lane project will inform our larger research proposals and product development roadmap. We are committed to publishing our findings and contributing to the growing body of knowledge in quantum-inspired computing.
We thank the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking and the AI Factory team for their support. This opportunity reinforces Europe's position as a leader in providing accessible, world-class computing infrastructure for innovative companies.
