Recording of the Webinar: Use of HPC at the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute
Thank you to everyone who attended the expert online lecture Use of HPC at the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute, led by Mgr. Mária Derková, PhD., from the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute.
The lecture provided insights into how the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute (SHMÚ) has been using the high-performance computing system NEC-LX (in operation since 2021), primarily for numerical weather prediction with the ALADIN model. Various configurations of the model and its broader applications were presented – including climatological and hydrological models, as well as models for air quality analysis and forecasting. The presentation also covered the processing of data from radars and satellites, along with a discussion on the potential for expanding HPC use to nowcasting, ensemble forecasting, and AI/ML techniques.

Strategický rozvoj a internacionalizácia 30 Apr - Národné superpočítačové centrum (NSCC) navštívil Jari Hämäläinen, uznávaný fínsky expert a poradca rektora Slovenskej technickej univerzity v Bratislave (STU) pre strategický rozvoj a internacionalizáciu. Stretnutie s projektovou koordinátorkou NSCC, Luciou Malíčkovou, otvorilo dvere novej úrovni spolupráce medzi akademickou sférou a špičkovou výpočtovou infraštruktúrou.
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.
