We are thrilled to announce that Softquantus has been awarded 180,000 GPU hours on LUMI-G through the EuroHPC AI Factory Large Scale call. This significant allocation will support our research and development of quantum-inspired AI algorithms over a 12-month period.
About the Award
The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking's AI Factory program provides European startups and research organizations with access to world-class supercomputing infrastructure. Our proposal underwent rigorous peer review, including technical assessment and evaluation by the Industrial Innovation Group.
Award Details
- 180,000 GPU hours on LUMI-G
- 12-month allocation period
- Access to AMD MI250X GPUs
Our Research Focus
Our proposal introduces a novel approach that combines federated incremental learning with quantum-inspired parameter search for optimization. This allows AI models to retrain on new data significantly faster than traditional methods.
The Industrial Innovation Group noted that our project "introduces a novel and interesting approach" and "seems to have potential to significantly influence the field."
"The proposal introduces a novel and interesting approach that combines federated incremental learning with quantum-inspired parameter search for optimization, allowing models to retrain on new data much faster."
