Minister for Further and Higher Education and Kildare North Fianna Fáil TD James Lawless said the announcements mark “a major leap forward” for Ireland’s AI and computing capabilities.
The Government says Ireland has taken a big step towards getting a new national supercomputer.
The system, to be based at the Irish Centre for High-End Computing at the University of Galway, will be called CASPIr.
It will replace the current supercomputer, Kay, which was launched in 2018.
The University of Galway has now signed an agreement that clears the way for the new machine to be built.
At the same time, the Centre has been awared €5 million in European funding - matched by the Irish Government - for a new AI Factory Antenna project.
The project will connect Ireland with major artificial intelligence hubs in France and Luxembourg and give Irish researchers and businesses access to advanced technology, training and support.
