Meaningful Collaboration: The National Supercomputing Centre and TUKE Explore Common Ground
Lucia Malíčková, Project Coordinator at the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC Slovakia) and the National Competence Centre for High-Performance Computing (NCC for HPC), met with Associate Professor Maroš Halama, PhD, from the Faculty of Materials, Metallurgy and Recycling at the Technical University of Košice. Their discussion focused on opportunities for closer collaboration in research, computational technologies, and support for young researchers.

The Technical University of Košice has long been among the leaders in the fields of materials research, metallurgy, and technological innovation. High-performance computing (HPC), provided by NSCC Slovakia, is a key tool for supporting research projects with demanding requirements for simulation, modeling, and data analysis. Connecting these two worlds—research and infrastructure—can open up new opportunities not only for scientists, but also for Slovak industry and education.
„We discussed specific ways to strengthen collaboration between universities and national institutions in the field of high-performance computing (HPC),“ said Lucia Malíčková. „The potential for joint projects, access to computing resources, and support for students in this field are areas where we see significant room for progress.“
The meeting represents a first step toward a long-term connection of infrastructure, expertise, and shared goals. Both parties aim not only to make use of available tools, but also to actively contribute to their development for the benefit of the scientific community and Slovakia’s innovative future.
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.
