Devana Supercomputer is now available for users
We are pleased to announce that the Devana supercomputer is now available for your computations and projects. The Computing Centre of the Slovak Academy of Sciences and the National Supercomputing Center have opened the first call for proposals for testing and benchmarking The call is continuously open, the project is possible repeatedly during the year and can be used through the register.nscc.sk .
A comprehensible website with practical instructions and documentation is also available at userdocs.nscc.sk, where you can find information about logging in, projects, SSH keys, software and development equipment, and running computing tasks. Access to Devana is possible through a terminal with a command line, but also through a web interface with the possibility of interactive calculation.
Currently, it is possible to apply for access for testing and benchmarking within a continuously open call s možnosťou využitia získaných údajov (vhodnosť aplikácie, paralelizácia, škálovanie, potrebná veľkosť dátového úložiska a pod.) na podanie žiadosti v pripravovanej výzve pre štandardné projekty.
Scientists and researchers from Slovak public universities and the Slovak Academy of Sciences, as well as from public and state administration organizations and private enterprises registered in the Slovak Republic, can apply for access for testing and benchmarking. Access is provided exclusively for civil and non-commercial open-science research and development. Interested parties from private companies are advised to contact the National Competence Centre for HPC.
We believe that with our professional support, working with Devana will be a benefit for your research and that the new system will allow the realization of many high-quality projects.
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.
