A Centre of Excellence in HPC: Performance Optimisation and Productivity
Once again, we bring you to the attention of the PoP service: (Performance Optimisation and Productivity; A Centre of Excellence in HPC) One of the PoP CoE partners is also the IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center at VŠB - Technical University in Ostrava in the Czech Republic.
Experts from the POP CoE offer a portfolio of services designed to help users optimise parallel software and understand performance issues. Whilst primary customers are code developers & owners services, (which is free of charge) of the POP CoE are also available to code users and infrastructure & service centres.
PoP CoE already has 21 successful partnerships with universities and SMEs. They already helped to optimize the software, identify its problem parts and clarify how the algorithms of individual applications work on the HPC infrastructure. Watch a webinar on the experience of SMEs in Europe using PoP services:
Services provided by POP:
- Parallel Application Performance Assessment;
- Proof-of-Concept Projects;
- Seminars and Workshops.
If you are insterested in services of the POP CoE do not hesitate to contact National Competence Centre for HPC via eurocc@nscc.sk and we will mediate contact with experts from the IT4I in Ostrava. In order to request services of the POP CoE you can also use Request Service Form. Services are free of charge to organisations / SMEs / ISVs / companies in the EU!

How Projects Addressing AI in Industry Are Created 2025 19 Nov - Umelá inteligencia sa stáva neoddeliteľnou súčasťou európskeho priemyslu aj výskumu a zásadne mení spôsob, akým vznikajú inovatívne projekty. Európska komisia preto prichádza s dvomi novými AI stratégiami – jednou zameranou na aplikovanie umelej inteligencie v kľúčových priemyselných sektoroch a druhou na vedecké využitie AI. Tieto iniciatívy prinášajú nové investičné a projektové príležitosti aj pre slovenské inštitúcie a firmy, najmä prostredníctvom programu Horizont Európa.
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.
