The Sunrise compute cluster, a cornerstone of Fysikum's scientific computing activities, has entered an exciting new chapter. With over 60 users each week and providing an impressive 2 to 3 million computational hours per month, Sunrise powers cutting-edge research, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and educational endeavors.

To meet the demands of a computationally driven future, the cluster has been relocated to a state-of-the-art server room at the AlbaNova University Centre. Thanks to the tireless efforts of Mikica Kocic, Ronni Barouta, and Konstantinos Alexandros Kastanas, the move was completed with minimal downtime, ensuring uninterrupted progress for Fysikum’s researchers.
The team is now looking ahead, eager to expand Sunrise’s capabilities to meet the evolving needs of the research community in the coming decade. This move marks a significant step toward strengthening Fysikum's position at the forefront of scientific computing and innovation.
