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. and 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.

From Crash Tests to Personalized Vaccines: Real-World Applications of HPC 26 May - As part of the INOVATO project, a webinar was held titled “How HPC Can Help Companies Innovate, Improve Efficiency, and Increase Competitiveness.” The keynote speaker was Lucia Malíčková from the National Supercomputing Center (NSCC) and the National Competence Centre for HPC. In her presentation, she introduced a broad audience to the wide range of opportunities that high-performance computing (HPC) offers today for companies, research organizations, and startups operating in Slovakia.
Artificial Intelligence in Business: Trends, Tools, and Practical Applications 25 May - Dňa 20. mája 2025 sa na pôde Univerzity Konštantína Filozofa v Nitre uskutočnila odborná prednáška s názvom „Artificial Intelligence in Business – Trends, Tools, and Practical Use“. Cieľom podujatia bolo predstaviť možnosti využitia umelej inteligencie (AI) v prostredí malých a stredných podnikov a podporiť ich digitálnu transformáciu s využitím vysokovýkonného počítania (HPC).
FF+ and the NCC for HPC: Supporting Innovation through High-Performance Computing 24 May - During the international conference Austrian-Slovenian HPC Meeting 2025 (ASHPC25), held from May 19 to 22, 2025, in Rimske Terme, Slovenia, representatives of the Slovak National Competence Centre for High-Performance Computing (NCC for HPC) met with Tina Črnigoj, dissemination and promotion coordinator of the Future Factories Plus (FF+) project. The meeting provided a valuable opportunity for expert discussion and the exchange of perspectives on connecting national digitalisation initiatives with strategic European projects. It highlighted promising synergies between the FF+ project and the mission of the NCC for HPC in Slovakia, particularly in the areas of advanced computational performance, innovation potential, and support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) facing increasing challenges in digital transformation and competitiveness.Newsletter
