National Academic Infrastructure for Supercomputing in Sweden
Surging demand for resources in Large/LUMI Fall calls
The NAISS Large and LUMI Sweden Fall 2026 calls are heavily oversubscribed. With 75 registered proposals, this NAISS Large round is the biggest since compute and storage were merged into a single call.
“This proves the importance of NAISS to Swedish research, and also sends a strong message to our funding partners,” says NAISS Allocations Director Peter Münger.
User story: The protein that revolutionised brain research
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine celebrates discoveries that have made it possible to study brain activity using light. David Carrasco de Busturia, a theoretical chemist and Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, is using NAISS resources for large-scale simulations to investigate exactly how the protein Channelrhodopsin-2 responds to light.
All slideshows from our User Forum which was held in Stockholm 6-7 October have been uploaded to the event page.
User story: Simulating the next generation of IceCube
A Nobel Prize can mark a scientific breakthrough, but rarely the end of the story. For Christian Glaser, Associate Professor at Uppsala University, exploring what comes next relies on high-performance computing. Using NAISS resources, he is optimising the radio detector for IceCube-Gen2, the planned successor to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory.
