Objectives of already executed and future procurements are to:

• ensure the continued operation of the CLARIN.SI technical infrastructure services,
• enable the storage of large multimodal language data,
• enable CLARIN.SI to follow the paradigm of “big data”,
• enable CLARIN.SI to offer publicly available online services for processing large quantities of Slovenian texts,
• establish a dedicated cluster of computers with GPGPU accelerators for deep learning needs.
