Phidias – Final Impact Webinar
We bring to your attention an online webinar focused on the results achieved by the Phidias HPC initiative in the field of high performance computing. The event, which will take place on July 12 from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. is intended for professionals engaged in Earth observation, marine and satellite data, as well as for researchers and developers in the field of HPC.
The project addresses the development and concrete realization of a set of High-Performance Computing (HPC) based interdisciplinary services and tools to exploit large satellite datasets of public European interest provided by:
- Satellite observation of Earth
- FAIR access to processed datasets
- Value-added services through large data storage capability and high-bandwidth network across Europe
This Webinar aims at presenting the tangible outputs achieved by the Phidias HPC initiative at service of the European HPC and Research community, including main features, concrete impact and prospective advantages for Research & HPC ecosphere, mostly in conjunction with the 4 key pillars of the project:
- Building a prototype for earth scientific data.
- Enabling Open Access to HPC Services.
- Strengthening FAIRisation.
- Creating a framework combining computing, dissemination and archiving resources.
The Webinar will feature representatives of the entire Consortium with the specific goal to provide an exhaustive overview of the main advancements of the three Use Cases impacting the Satellite Data, Marine and Ocean data, Earth Observation research communities and to share the most meaningful and innovative lessons learned.
Agenda will be available soon!
Superpočítač pre každého: odvážte sa objaviť svet moderných výpočtov 28 Oct - Kedysi boli superpočítače tajomnou technológiou, ku ktorej mali prístup iba špičkoví vedci vo futuristických laboratóriách. Dnes však začína platiť úplne nový príbeh. Superpočítač na Slovensku môžu využívať aj obyčajní ľudia z univerzít, menších firiem, či dokonca zo štátnej správy, ktorí potrebujú zvládnuť výpočty, na aké bežný počítač jednoducho nestačí.
Webinar amália: Towards a Multimodal LLM for European Portuguese 27 Oct - Pridajte sa k nášmu inšpiratívnemu webináru o vývoji amália, portugalského veľkého jazykového modelu, ktorý prináša bohatstvo európskej portugalčiny do novej éry multimodálnej umelej inteligencie.
Na podujatí vystúpi prof. João Magalhães z NOVA LINCS, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, ktorý predstaví ciele, architektúru a pokrok tohto národného AI projektu. Prednáška sa zameria na to, ako amália kombinuje spracovanie textu, reči, obrazu a videa a ako prispieva k vytváraniu kultúrne ukotvených a dôveryhodných systémov umelej inteligencie pre verejný sektor, akademickú sféru a priemysel.
