MATLAB WORKSHOP: Scaling Algorithms and Simulations Using Parallel Computing
Computationally intensive tasks, processing large volumes of data, and repeated simulation runs are everyday challenges in both science and industry. Modern approaches make it possible to significantly accelerate these processes by leveraging parallel computing and available hardware resources – from multiple CPU cores to GPU acceleration. MATLAB and Simulink offer a wide range of possibilities to efficiently utilize these resources without the need for specialized knowledge of GPU programming or complex HPC solutions.
As part of the upcoming workshop in the MATLAB Parallel Computing Roadshow series, we will demonstrate how algorithms and simulations can be scaled using parallel computing. Participants will gain a practical overview of MATLAB’s capabilities, from code optimization and computation parallelization to accessing remote computing clusters. The workshop will also provide space for questions, discussion, and sharing experiences.
Date: October 28, 2025, 9:00 – 12:00
Venue: Online
Speaker: Michal Blaho
Program

Practical information
The workshop is intended for all participants who wish to get hands-on experience with parallel computing in MATLAB and Simulink. Participants will run examples utilizing multiple CPUs and GPUs. We recommend bringing your own laptop and checking in advance the availability of multiple CPUs and a GPU. If your device does not support these options, we will try to provide an alternative solution.
When a production line knows what will happen in 10 minutes 5 Feb - Every disruption on a production line creates stress. Machines stop, people wait, production slows down, and decisions must be made under pressure. In the food industry—especially in the production of filled pasta products, where the process follows a strictly sequential set of technological steps—one unexpected issue at the end of the line can bring the entire production flow to a halt. But what if the production line could warn in advance that a problem will occur in a few minutes? Or help decide, already during a shift, whether it still makes sense to plan packaging later the same day? These were exactly the questions that stood at the beginning of a research collaboration that brought together industrial data, artificial intelligence, and supercomputing power.
Who Owns AI Inside an Organisation? — Operational Responsibility 5 Feb - This webinar focuses on how organisations can define clear operational responsibility and ownership of AI systems in a proportionate and workable way. Drawing on hands-on experience in data protection, AI governance, and compliance, Petra Fernandes will explore governance approaches that work in practice for both SMEs and larger organisations. The session will highlight internal processes that help organisations stay in control of their AI systems over time, without creating unnecessary administrative burden.
Online lecture: AI Responsibility Gaps 4 Feb - On 12 February 2026, we are organising the opening online lecture of the AI Accountability Dialogue Series, focusing on the timely topic of “responsibility gaps” in artificial intelligence systems. Our guest speakers will be Daniela Vacek and Jaroslav Kopčan.
