Austria's Multi-Site Computer Austria (MUSICA) supercomputer, spanning Vienna, Linz and Innsbruck, was officially inaugurated on **July 3, 2026**, delivering **45.11 petaflops** from **1,088 NVIDIA H100 GPUs** across 440 nodes - more than eight times the power of Austria's prior VSC-4/VSC-5 systems, according to the Austrian Scientific Computing consortium and TU Wien. The roughly EUR 45 million system pairs classical HPC simulation with AI-training capacity and links to OTTER, Austria's first production ion-trap quantum computer, making it one of the first national facilities to unify all three compute paradigms under one architecture. University leaders have already flagged a funding risk: hardware costs are fully covered, but further budget cuts could still threaten ongoing operating costs.
