What is
HPC?
High performance computing (HPC) is the use of high-performance computing technologies (supercomputers and parallel programs) to solve complex numerical problems. Deployment of HPC is important in modern science as well as in industry.
Competence
Center
National competence center's mission is to promote the use of HPC in science and industry and to increase the competences of its users. If you are interested in more information, training or cooperation do not hesitate to contact us.

Slovakia has joined a European network of 33 competence centers. The aim of the EuroCC project. from CASTIEL is to bridge the existing HPC skill gaps while promoting cooperation and the implementation of best practices across Europe. European countries are currently taking part in the initiative and pooling their resources with the EU and private partners to enable the EU to become a world leader in supercomputing.

Artificial Intelligence and a Supercomputer as a New Weapon Against Environmental Disasters 26 Mar - Scientists from Nitra, Slovakia are teaching machines to predict industrial failures before they can cause damage. Thanks to collaboration with the European supercomputer LUMI, they have developed a digital “guardian” capable of detecting pipeline leaks or manufacturing faults with high accuracy—helping protect both the environment and companies’ budgets.
The Slovak Recipe for Fair Play and Happier Players 25 Mar - Do you play games on your phone and sometimes feel like the game just doesn’t understand you? Experts from Nitra, Slovakia, have used one of Europe’s most powerful supercomputers to change that. Thanks to the Italian giant named Leonardo, they discovered how to read between the lines of player behavior and make the gaming experience more personal and fair.
