New HPC Ambassador: Union of Clusters of Slovakia
We are pleased to announce that the National Competence Centre for HPC has established a new partnership with the Union of Clusters of Slovakia (ÚKS) as part of the HPC Ambassador program This significant step will strengthen our joint efforts in promoting innovation and the adoption of high-performance computing technologies among clusters and their members from various sectors, with a focus on small and medium-sized enterprises in Slovakia.
Shared Goals and Visions
Our shared goal is to raise awareness and promote the adoption of HPC technologies among Slovak clusters, which bring together businesses, research institutions, and the academic sphere. In collaboration with ÚKS, we will organize events, training sessions, and informational campaigns that will provide cluster members with the necessary knowledge and tools to utilize HPC in their activities.
How We Collaborate
As part of this collaboration, the NCC will regularly share information about its activities, training sessions, and services that are relevant to the members and partners of ÚKS. ÚKS, in turn, will use its communication channels to inform its members about these opportunities and will connect businesses ready to utilize HPC technologies with the NCC. ÚKS members will also gain access to expert assistance and support for various research or development projects.
We believe that this partnership will significantly contribute to the development of the innovation ecosystem in Slovakia and help cluster members become more competitive in the global market.
We look forward to a successful collaboration and many joint projects ahead!
Online Lecture: HPC & AI – Competition or Collaboration? 7 Nov - On 26 November 2025 at 10:00, we are hosting a special online lecture dedicated to the rapidly evolving topic of the interplay between high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI). Our guest will be Erwin Laure, one of the most prominent figures in the European HPC ecosystem.
Success story: The Future of Soil Hidden in Data 5 Nov - High-Performance Computing (HPC) offers researchers the ability to process enormous volumes of data and uncover connections that would otherwise remain hidden. Today, it is no longer just a tool for technical disciplines – it is increasingly valuable in social and environmental research as well. A great example is a project that harnessed the power of HPC to gain deeper insight into the relationship between humans, soil, and the landscape.
AI-Driven Archaeology with LLMs — Detecting Archaeological Sites from Aerial Imagery 30 Oct - Objavte, ako umelá inteligencia a veľké jazykové modely menia spôsob, akým odhaľujeme stopy minulosti. Webinár priblíži, ako pokročilé techniky umelej inteligencie inšpirované LLM dokážu analyzovať letecké a LiDARové snímky a detegovať archeologické lokality s bezprecedentnou presnosťou. Dr. Daniel Canedo z Univerzity v Aveire predstaví praktické príklady, v ktorých Vision Transformers a multimodálne učenie odhaľujú skryté vzory v krajine a spájajú moderné technológie s kultúrnym dedičstvom.
