Services of the POP CoE
The Performance Optimisation and Productivity Centre of Excellence in HPC provides performance optimisation and productivity services for (your?) academic AND industrial code(s) in all domains!
The idea that drives the POP CoE (Performance Optimisation and Productivity Centre of Excellence in HPC) is a simple one: to boost productivity of EU research and industry by providing free of charge services that help improve performance of high performance computing (HPC) and parallel software. The aim of POP is to offer our world-class HPC competence to organisations that want to understand software performance issues and to adopt parallel programming best practice.
Main services of the POP CoE are: Performance Audits, Improvement Plans, Proof-of-Concept demos, and Training.
- Performance Audits are an initial analysis measuring a range of performance metrics to assess quality of performance and identify the issues affecting performance.
- Improvement Plans undertake further performance evaluations to qualify and quantify solutions and estimate potential improvements.
- Proof of Concept work uses extracted application kernels to demonstrate actual benefits from tuning and optimisation.
- Training offers events and materials covering parallel profiling tools, programming models and parallelisation approaches.
Services are free of charge to organisations, SMEs, ISVs, companies in the EU!
Services of POP CoE are provided for:
- Code developers. (Assessment of detailed actual behavior, suggestion of most productive directions to refactor code…)
- Users. (Assessment of achieved performance in specific production conditions, possible improvements modifying environment setup, evidence to interact with code provider...)
- Infrastructure operators. (Assessment of achieved performance in production conditions, possible improvements from modifying environment setup, information for time computer time allocation processes, training of support staff...)
- Vendors. (Benchmarking, customer support, system dimensioning/design...)
Intent Classification for Bank Chatbots through LLM Fine-Tuning 12 Sep - Tento článok hodnotí použitie veľkých jazykových modelov na klasifikáciu intentov v chatbote s preddefinovanými odpoveďami, určenom pre webové stránky bankového sektora. Zameriavame sa na efektivitu modelu SlovakBERT a porovnávame ho s použitím multilingválnych generatívnych modelov, ako sú Llama 8b instruct a Gemma 7b instruct, v ich predtrénovaných aj fine-tunovaných verziách. Výsledky naznačujú, že SlovakBERT dosahuje lepšie výsledky než ostatné modely, a to v presnosti klasifikácie ako aj v miere falošne pozitívnych predikcií.
HPC webinar for SMEs: Examples of real use of HPC in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia 11 Sep - HPC webinár pre MSP: Príklady reálneho využitia HPC v Poľsku, Česku a na Slovensku
Dňa 4. septembra sa uskutočnil informatívny webinár, ktorý zdôraznil potenciál vysokovýkonného počítania prostredníctvom reálnych úspešných príbehov a pútavých projektov realizovaných s podporou Národných kompetenčných centier pre HPC. Okrem príkladov realizovaných v slovenskom NCC, webinár predstavil aj odborné znalosti a skúsenosti susedných kompetenčných centier v Českej republike a Poľsku.
