National Competence Centre for HPC at the spring edition of ITAPA 2021

The spring edition of the largest IT conference in Slovakia - ITAPA- took place in Bratislava on June 10, 2021. The EuroCC project. project and the National Competence Center for High-Performance Computing was again represented at this event. Lukáš Demovič, director of the Centre of Operations of the Slovak Academy of Sciences and Chairman of the Board of the National Supercomputing centre (NSCC) took part in a session about Digital Economics.

Radoslav Repa, Director General of the Digital Agenda Section of MIRRI SR was acting as a moderator of the panel. The main topics were dealing with the pandemic in the context of digitization and utilization of the HPC and AI technologies, as well as quantum computers and blockchain technology in the digital economy. Seven speakers took part in an interesting exchange of ideas and perspectives:

The importance of HPC+ tools in science and various domains of industry was explained by L. Demovič during his introductory talk.Doteraz bolo veľmi často HPC alebo superpočítače vnímane ako doména vedcov, akademikov, „hračky“ na ktorých vedci robia základný výskum, ale čoraz viacej táto doména preniká do svetu priemyslu, malých a stredných podnikov…“ 

The activities of the EuroCC project and National Competence Centre for HPC in Slovakia were emphasized, particularly the support for SMEs and industry subjects in their efforts to adopt HPC solutions. Successful projects and outcomes of the FF4EUROHPC scheme have been cited as examples.

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.
