PRACE Summer of HPC
Since 2013, PRACE has been enabling students from Europe to take part in summer internships at European HPCs through the Summer of HPC program. SoHPC will be held online this year, but students will be able to come to some HPC centers and attend the program in person.
PRACE - Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe aims to inspire and encourage a new generation of software engineers, system administrators and HPC users from a variety of disciplines, support new talent and keep Europe at the forefront of supercomputing. During the summer internship, master's degree students participate in work on specific projects under the guidance of experts from HPC centers.
The program begins with a several-day introductory online training, where participants learn more about HPC and get to know the entire team. In the coming weeks, they are working on individual projects, the results of which will be summarized in a short report and at the same time shown in the form of a video or presentation during the final mini-conference. The organizers also appreciate if students share their experiences on the Summer of HPC blog or through social media during the program. In the end, the best projects are awarded in the Best Visualization or Best Project categories.
Registration is open until April 12, 2022. All interesting project topics prepared by HPC experts this year can be found HERE.
Participants who will eventually participate in the program will be selected by a committee, which will also allocate a project based on their interest. One participant can choose 3 projects he would like to work on. Applicants can be from different disciplines, no previous experience with HPC is required - all you need is a desire to learn new things in the field of supercomputing!

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.
