NLAFET - a high-profile computing research project funded with nearly €4 million
Umeå University together with three international partners have been funded with nearly 4 million euros (3,907,375) for a front-line research project focusing on novel methods and software for the future supercomputer systems. The project named NLAFET is one of the high-profile extreme-scale computing research projects funded by the European Commission within the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) program under Horizon 2020.

Today's most powerful supercomputers are composed of hundreds of thousands computing cores (CPUs and accelerators) connected in high speed networks that make up a massively parallel high performance computing (HPC) system.
