Support for the utilization of HPC technologies in small
and medium-sized enterprises and industry.
The main goal of the Ambassador program is to establish mutually beneficial cooperation with innovation agencies, chambers of commerce, and regional associations representing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and industrial companies. The National Competence Center for High-Performance Computing (NCC for HPC) offers a wide portfolio of services in the areas of simulation, modeling, AI/ML, and data analysis. Our services include access to supercomputers, technological consulting, and professional training.
The implementation of high-performance computing technologies (HPC) can bring several advantages for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Slovakia. Here are some of the main benefits:
Acceleration of computations and processes
HPC enables SMEs to process complex calculations and analytical tasks faster. The team contributes to increasing efficiency, optimizing processes and customizing the product launch.
AmpliSIM: Air Quality Simulation For Industry
„Celkový inžiniersky čas sa znížil o viac ako 60 percent, pričom nebol stratený žiadny čas na získavanie a transformáciu údajov. Toto, spolu s vynikajúcou kvalitou údajov a nízkou chybovosťou v modelovacom procese, robí túto službu pre používateľov tak príťažlivou.“
Innovation and Competitiveness
High-performance computing technologies provide SMEs with opportunities for innovation and the development of new products or services. In this way, they can gain a competitive advantage in the market.
Juan Yacht Design Teams Up With PRACE SHAPE To Make Faster Sailboats
“The use of RANS turbulence models – a pioneering adoption of Computational Fluids Dynamics (CFD) – has enabled Juan Yacht Design to put aside the need for towing tank experimental tests, a key competitive advantage in a cut-throat industry.”
Processing Large Datasets
HPC enables SMEs to efficiently process large volumes of data. This is crucial, for example, for analyzing customer behavior, demand forecasting, and other important areas that can lead to better decision-making.
Large-scale Indie Gaming Analytics (LIGA)
“The main benefit for the customers of KUMO making use of REC-ENG is that the new tool will support their decision-making process in terms of models to be collected and shared. The tool will reinforce the links between models and users’ likes, and also among models themselves.”
Cost optimization
Although implementing HPC involves certain investments, it can lead to cost optimization in the long term. Automation of processes and innovative approaches can result in less time and resources required to achieve the same results.
OptiBike Robust Lightweight Composite Bicycle design and optimization
„Riešenie OptiBike vedie k 80 % skráteniu času potrebného na navrhnutie a optimalizáciu bicykla, čo môže v súčasnosti trvať až 8 mesiacov. Okrem toho znižuje počet vyrobených prototypov o 75 %. Mať k dispozícii tento optimalizačný pracovný postup znamená, že IDEC je schopný udržať si náskok pred konkurenciou aj napriek obmedzeným zdrojom.“
Adaptability and scalability
HPC solutions are often flexible and capable of adapting to the evolving needs of SMEs. Moreover, these technologies are scalable, meaning that SMEs can gradually expand their capacities according to increasing demands.
Research & Development
HPC can support SMEs in research and development, which is a key factor for innovation and discovering new opportunities in their industry.
High-performance computing enhances treatment precision in breast cancer
"The AÏDA technology has a huge potential to support clinicians in their choice of treatment. No similar solutions exist at the moment, and therefore AÏDA has the opportunity to become a first-in-market product that can truly revolutionize the way cancer patients are treated."
Decision support
Faster and more accurate calculations enable SMEs to obtain better information for decision-making processes, leading to better strategic decisions.
Leveraging HPC for AI and deep learning powered solutions for asset management
„Hlavným výsledkom tohto experimentu je vývoj „fabriky“ modelov založených na umelej inteligencii/hlbokom učení na podporu správy aktív. Prináša rigoróznosť a automatizáciu do modelov, ktoré usmerňujú lepšie investičné rozhodnutia a podporujú vytváranie nástrojov na riadenie rizík. Tieto nástroje následne prispievajú k stabilite celého systému a zníženiu rizík pre investorov, najmä v najnáročnejších trhových momentoch a scenároch, čím prekonávajú vyššie uvedené prekážky.“
Development of professional skills
The implementation of HPC allows SMEs to develop the professional skills of their employees in the field of computational technologies and modern information technologies.
