complex calculations tunge beregninger: Calculations that require a lot of processing power.

The phrase "difficult calculations" is not good. It's not the right terminology. Strictly speaking, the calculations are not necessarily difficult. You need to use a phrase like "complex calculations" or "massive calculations" if you want a simple phrase.

intensive calculations

Written as one word, tungeberegninger, it means tongue calculations. Presuming there is such a word, somewhere deep in butchers' dictionaries, I'd hazard a guess that you are looking for 'tunge' beregninger, which is hard, difficult, processor-intensive, demanding or advanced calculations.
