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...)
Meaningful Collaboration: The National Supercomputing Centre and TUKE Explore Common Ground 16 Jun - Lucia Malíčková, Project Coordinator at the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC Slovakia) and the National Competence Centre for High-Performance Computing (NCC for HPC), met with Associate Professor Maroš Halama, PhD, from the Faculty of Materials, Metallurgy and Recycling at the Technical University of Košice. Their discussion focused on opportunities for closer collaboration in research, computational technologies, and support for young researchers.
Nová éra spolupráce v slovenskom HPC: Začíname budovať HPC ekosysém spolu s Eviden 13 Jun - V slovenskom HPC ekosystéme sa začína nové, mimoriadne zaujímavé obdobie. Ako ste už určite zachytili, Slovenská akadémia vied realizuje projekt s názvom „Budovanie superpočítača pre Národné superpočítačové centrum“, ktorý prinesie novú výpočtovú infraštruktúru pre potreby vedy, výskumu, inovácií aj verejných služieb. Ako Národné superpočítačové centrum sme radi, že môžeme byť pri tom – a stáť pri zrode spolupráce, ktorá má potenciál významne ovplyvniť ďalší rozvoj tejto oblasti na Slovensku. Hovoríme o začiatku partnerstva medzi Národným superpočítačovým centrom a spoločnosťou Atos Eviden, ktorá tento stroj dodáva.
NSCC a NCC pre HPC na veľtrhu Portugal Smart Cities Summit 2025  12 Jun - Ako budú vyzerať mestá budúcnosti? Aké technológie ich premenia na inteligentné, udržateľné a inkluzívne prostredia pre život a prácu? Aj o tom sa hovorilo na Portugal Smart Cities Summit, jednom z najväčších veľtrhov zameraných na smart technológie, ktorý sa konal od 3. do 5. júna 2025 v Lisabone.
