Research project Computational tools and resources tailored for forestry science and technology.
The Computational Forestry Lab (CFL) is a specialized super computing facility for digital forestry research. It enables high-performance computing with large amounts of data from airborne laser scanning, forest machines, and advanced simulations. We work on assisting users in using this resource by streamlining tools used in forestry research.
If you're interested in using CFL, !
is a research infrastructure at Umeå University, designed to accelerate the digital transformation of forestry through high-performance computing and adaptation of artificial intelligence. Powered by a compact but powerful supercomputer, CFL enables advanced analysis and modelling of large datasets from sources such as airborne laser scanning, sensor-equipped forest machinery, and computer simulations.
CFL is uniquely tailored for forestry research, addressing the need for computational capacity for sustainable precision forestry through digitalization and automation. We work on supporting cooperation across subject- and company-academy boundaries with shared and partially confidential data, models and tools. This lends itself to a platform for testing new algorithms and models directly within the system—eliminating the need for reimplementation or data transfer.
This resource and our work on it is supported by funding from the Kempe Foundation and Mistra Digital Forest, and is physically hosted at HPC2N, Umeå University's supercomputing centre.
