National Competence Centre for HPC at SlovakiaTech Forum Expo
On September 20 and 21, 2022, an international conference for professionals and innovation and technology fair SlovakiaTech Expo , whose goal was a meeting of Slovak and foreign experts in the field of innovation, industry and industrial technology, energy, transport and logistics, environment and education. The team of the National Competence Centre for High-Performance Computing presented its activities to visitors and interested parties from the state, academic and private sectors at the innovation and technology fair. The participants had a great opportunity to join the competition and try out a simplified simulation similar to those implemented on a supercomputer.
During the event at the stand of the National Competence Center for High-Performance Computing, participants had the opportunity to participate in a competition for a reMarkable tablet. The purpose of the competition was to find the object with the least air resistance with entry restrictions set by NCC for HPC experts.
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.
AI-Driven Archaeology with LLMs — Detecting Archaeological Sites from Aerial Imagery 30 Oct - Objavte, ako umelá inteligencia a veľké jazykové modely menia spôsob, akým odhaľujeme stopy minulosti. Webinár priblíži, ako pokročilé techniky umelej inteligencie inšpirované LLM dokážu analyzovať letecké a LiDARové snímky a detegovať archeologické lokality s bezprecedentnou presnosťou. Dr. Daniel Canedo z Univerzity v Aveire predstaví praktické príklady, v ktorých Vision Transformers a multimodálne učenie odhaľujú skryté vzory v krajine a spájajú moderné technológie s kultúrnym dedičstvom.
Supercomputer for Everyone: Dare to Discover the World of Modern Computing 28 Oct - Once, supercomputers were a mysterious technology accessible only to top scientists working in futuristic laboratories. Today, however, a completely new story is being written. Supercomputers are now available to ordinary users — from universities, small companies, and even public administration — anyone who needs to handle computations far beyond the capabilities of a regular computer.
