Twinning SK-CZ: Engineering applications
On May 12.-13. 2022, we organized a twinning workshop at the Congress Center SAS Academia in Stará Lesná with the Czech National Competence Center for HPC, which operates within IT4I in Ostrava. The workshop focused on engineering applications and advanced modeling of, for example, complex fluid dynamics, turbulence, heat transfer, acoustics, mechanics etc.
The workshop was also attended by representatives of private companies, so it also included a brief introduction to the competence center, the EuroCC project and opportunities for using the HPC approach and services in Slovakia and Europe.
The head of the Czech Competence Center for HPC, Tomáš Karásek, presented interesting examples of successful cooperation with companies, but also academic institutions in this area - you can find many of them HEREAnother important topic was a comprehensive overview of available software tools in this domain. Several open-source and commercial software packages are currently available and in development, and during the workshop we also learned about their strengths and weaknesses.
At the end of this pleasant event, we exchanged experiences and procedures with Czech colleagues in cooperation with the private sector and the management of clients from small and medium-sized enterprises.
Slovak scientists join forces in the fight against staphylococcal infection 23 Oct - Baktérie patria medzi najmenších, no zároveň najnebezpečnejších protivníkov v medicíne. Kým niektoré sú neškodné, iné dokážu spôsobiť vážne infekcie, ktorých včasná diagnostika rozhoduje o úspechu liečby. Tím slovenských vedcov preto skúma, ako odhaliť prítomnosť baktérií priamo v tkanive, rýchlo, presne a bez potreby invazívnych zásahov. Výskum spája konfokálnu Ramanovu mikroskopiu, fotodynamickú terapiu a analýzu dát na superpočítači. 
Supercomputer Accelerated the Development of Eco-Friendly Hydrogen Production 13 Oct - Hydrogen is one of the key elements driving the transition toward sustainable energy. Its carbon-free production represents a cornerstone of the green energy future — from industry to transportation. However, finding an efficient and affordable way to produce it remains a scientific challenge that brings together chemistry, materials research, and computational modeling.
Watch the recording of the webinar MATLAB in a Nutshell 9 Oct - Ak ste nestihli septembrový webinár MATLAB v kocke, prinášame vám jeho kompletný záznam. Podujatie predstavilo prostredie MATLAB – výkonný inžiniersky nástroj a interaktívne prostredie určené na vedecké a technické výpočty, analýzu a spracovanie dát, vizualizáciu a tvorbu algoritmov.
