IT4Innovations operates the most powerful supercomputing systems in the Czech Republic, which are provided to Czech and foreign research teams from both academia and industry. Together with the CESNET and CERIT-SC institutions, IT4Innovations constitutes e-INFRA CZ, a strategic research infrastructure of the Czech Republic.

IT4Innovations currently operates two supercomputers, Barbora (849 TFlop/s) and Karolina (15.7 PFlop/s), as well as smaller complementary systems that provide users with access to emerging, non-traditional or highly specialized hardware architectures. Czech research communities also have access to the LUMI supercomputer, thanks to IT4Innovations’ membership in the eponymous consortium. In 2025 one of the six EuroHPC quantum computers will be installed and operated at IT4Innovations.
