Impulz: Call for Applications1 Jun-Today, June 1, 2023, the Slovak Academy of Sciences opened a call for applications for the IMPULZ 2023 grant program. For the third time, internationally recognized scientists and highly talented young researchers have the opportunity to realize their scientific goals in Slovakia under conditions close to the prestigious European grant. Selected projects can apply for funds of up to 160,000 euros per year. The call is open until midnight on August 31, 2023, the expected start of the project solution is in April 2024.
Summer School: From Supramolecular Chemistry to Structural Biology by Multiscale Modelling Methods12 May-Computer simulations have become a valuable tool for expanding our knowledge in many areas. Steadily increasing performance of supercomputers or even desktop computers allows us to simulate bigger systems or achieve higher accuracy employing routine simulations. However, proper predictions can only be obtained if correct models and theoretical approaches are employed.
National Competence Centre for HPC on Europe Day12 May-On May 9, the "birthday celebration" of the European Union took place in Bratislava's Stara tržnica. The Europe Day event was organized by the Office of the European Parliament and the Representation of the European Commission. The team of the National Competence Centre for High-Performance Computing also presented its activities on Europe Day.

Registration Open: Code Tuning for the Exascale.4 May-On June 5-7, 2023, in cooperation with the TREX Center of Excellence and the National Competence Centers for HPC from Austria and the Czech Republic, we are organizing a hands-on workshop focused on the development of HPC applications. Participants will be able to try working with tools for performance analysis and identification of bottlenecks, such as MAQAO. (www.maqao.org). The workshop will include practical exercises, it will be possible to work with your own software, analyze it and consult with expert lecturers.
Workshop & hackathon: Exascale women on stage!25 Apr-V dňoch 12. – 14. apríla na pôde Humboldtovej univerzity v Berlíne bude prebiehať workshop a hackathon Exascale women on stage! Podujatie organizujú ženy a je určené pre ženy, aby sa dozvedeli o vzájomnom výskume a budovali profesionálne siete. Podujatie je otvorené pre všetky vedkyne na všetkých profesionálnych úrovniach – vrátane magisteriek, doktorandiek, postdoktorandiek a profesoriek – pracujúcich na vývoji metód a kódov, ktoré prinesú teóriu elektrónovej štruktúry do exascale.
How can NLP improve your business?22 Mar-We would like to invite you to a popularization lecture focused on Natural Language Processing. NLP refers to a branch of computer sciences—and more specifically the branch of artificial intelligence or AI—concerned with giving computers the ability to understand text and spoken words in much the same way human beings can. This method is also used by currently very popular ChatGPT.
Research project: Use of wave energy for the third generation WEC9 Feb-On February 2nd, an online presentation of the research project Use of wave energy for the third generation WEC (Wave energy converter) took place in the premises of the Computing Centre of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. The hybrid event was organized by niore Energy s.r.o. and the National Competence Centre for High Performance Computing.
Postupnými krokmi k spusteniu Devany17 Nov-Po úspešnom navezení nového superpočítača Devana bude spusteniu a sprístupneniu pre používateľov predchádzať ešte niekoľko krokov, ktoré sa budú realizovať počas najbližších týždňov. Predovšetkým je nevyhnutné dokončenie a servis pomocnej infraštruktúry, ako sú elektrické rozvody a chladiaci systém.
