Finland’s Data Center Boom is Just Getting Started
Finland is emerging as one of Europe’s fastest-growing data center markets, driven by AI demand, abundant renewable energy, and favorable policies.
Get smart on it
Finland is emerging as one of Europe's fastest-growing data center markets because of its abundant renewable energy, cool climate, and supportive government policies. The country attracts major technology companies building AI infrastructure due to cheap and reliable electricity, available land on former industrial sites, and natural cooling advantages that reduce operating costs. However, Finland faces growing challenges as demand increases, including potential bottlenecks in the permit approval process and questions about whether the electrical grid can support increasingly power-hungry AI facilities. The country is also exploring ways to make data center waste heat recovery more widespread through potential tax incentives, which could shift it from an optional sustainability practice to a competitive requirement.

In this tutorial, we explore TileLang as a high-level Python domain-specific language for designing and compiling performance-oriented GPU kernels through TVM. We begin by validating the CUDA environment and establishing reusable benchmarking and numerical-verification utilities, then progressively implement vector addition, tiled tensor-core matrix multiplication, schedule exploration, fused GEMM epilogues, row-wise softmax, and FlashAttention. Throughout the tutorial, we work directly with Ti
