 Kick-off meeting: Superheroes 4 Science vol.2

On days 28-30 November 2023, an introductory meeting for the second phase of the Superheroes 4 Science (S4S) project took place in Bratislava. The project will introduce the young generation to the fascinating world of high-performance computing and will focus on the creation of interactive educational materials on such topics as supercomputers, artificial intelligence and quantum computing.

 Kick-off meeting: Superheroes 4 Science vol.2

We are excited to announce that the Superheroes 4 Science (S4S)vol.2 kick-off meeting was held in Bratislava, Slovakia from November 28-30. The project aims to introduce the younger generation to the fascinating world of high-performance computing and focuses on creating interactive educational materials on topics such as supercomputers, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing. Teams from the Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia gathered at the introductory project meeting in Bratislava. It was a highly productive three days during which we had the opportunity to plan the development of various interesting educational activities and materials for you.

In addition to being a very productive meeting we also had the opportunity to see the first Slovak supercomputer from 1958. This computer was used for modeling dynamic systems and calculating differential equations, and it was in operation until 1972. We also visited the new Slovak #supercomputer Devana. Devana is a powerful machine that is capable of performing complex calculations at speeds that were unimaginable just a few decades ago.

Follow the project website and social media channels and don't miss out on various interesting educational activities and materials that we are preparing for you


All Hands Meeting in Estonia 30 Sep - V dňoch 23. – 25. septembra 2025 sa zástupkyne Národného kompetenčného centra pre HPC  Halyna Hyryavets a Lucia Malíčková zúčastnili záverečnej konferencie projektov CASTIEL2, EuroCC2, EuroCC4SEE a Centier excelentnosti (CoEs), ktorá sa konala v Tallinne v Estónsku.
MATLAB WORKSHOP: Scaling Algorithms and Simulations Using Parallel Computing  25 Sep - Computationally intensive tasks, processing large volumes of data, and repeated simulation runs are everyday challenges in both science and industry. Modern approaches make it possible to significantly accelerate these processes by leveraging parallel computing and available hardware resources – from multiple CPU cores to GPU acceleration. MATLAB and Simulink offer a wide range of possibilities to efficiently utilize these resources without the need for specialized knowledge of GPU programming or complex HPC solutions.
The computing power of HPC brings new opportunities in the protection of the brown bear  23 Sep - Vysokovýkonné počítanie (HPC) predstavuje kľúčovú technológiu modernej doby, ktorá zásadne mení spôsob, akým vedci, výskumníci aj firmy riešia zložité problémy. Superpočítače dokážu spracovať obrovské objemy dát a vykonať miliardy výpočtov za sekundu – úlohy, ktoré by na bežných počítačoch trvali mesiace či roky, zvládajú v priebehu hodín alebo dní.
