VIking will is approaching end of life. With the success of Viking the university has invested in new hardware. Viking2 will be bigger with more CPUs, more memory and more GPUs. In addition to this Viking2 will be moved to a lower than net zero data center to allow staff and students to complete their computational work sustainably. Viking2 will be located in Sweden taking advantage of lower energy costs and the data centers excellent sustainability credentials.
The aim is to have Viking2 online end of September 2023.
