D2.3 HPC and AI Maturity Survey

This report presents the HPC and AI Maturity survey developed by the LUMI AI Factory as a strategic tool to support customers in assessing their potential to adopt high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The survey plays a central role in guiding customers through the process of defining project scope, understanding available resources, and preparing successful applications for compute capacity through LUMI AI Factory and EuroHPC JU. The primary objective of the survey is to evaluate an organization’s current capabilities, identify technical and skills gaps, and recommend suitable entry points and access models for compute resources. It is an integral part of the AI Factory’s customer process, ensuring that customers are well-informed and positioned for success in leveraging advanced computing technologies. In addition to its direct benefits to individual customers, the survey enables LUMI AI Factory to collect and analyze data across organizations, uncovering broader trends and informing future support strategies. This dual function enhances both individual project outcomes and the overall effectiveness of AI Factory’s services. Looking ahead, the report outlines a roadmap for reviewing and developing the survey. Key recommendations include incorporating user feedback, modularizing the survey for domain-specific relevance, and integrating it with AI Factory’s digital support systems. These enhancements will ensure the survey remains a dynamic, user-centered tool that evolves alongside technological advancements and customer needs.
