Lindgren the Swedish tier-1 system

• The Swedish academic computing landscape is organized under the auspices of SNIC, the Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing. SNIC coordinates investments in computing and storage infrastructure at its six national centers and manages the national process for allocating research time on its computing resources. Since its formation in 2003, SNIC has significantly increased the computational capacity available to Swedish researchers and firmly put Sweden on the international computational science map. When the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE) started in 2010, SNIC joined this European HPC effort and worked with the Swedish Research 142Council to allocate additional funds for a national high-end system that would also be made available to European researchers via PRACE. These efforts resulted in the installation of a CRAY XE6 supercomputer, named Lindgren, at the PDC Center for High-Performance Computing at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.
