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.
Online Lecture: HPC & AI – Competition or Collaboration? 7 Nov - On 26 November 2025 at 10:00, we are hosting a special online lecture dedicated to the rapidly evolving topic of the interplay between high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI). Our guest will be Erwin Laure, one of the most prominent figures in the European HPC ecosystem.
Success story: The Future of Soil Hidden in Data 5 Nov - High-Performance Computing (HPC) offers researchers the ability to process enormous volumes of data and uncover connections that would otherwise remain hidden. Today, it is no longer just a tool for technical disciplines – it is increasingly valuable in social and environmental research as well. A great example is a project that harnessed the power of HPC to gain deeper insight into the relationship between humans, soil, and the landscape.
AI-Driven Archaeology with LLMs — Detecting Archaeological Sites from Aerial Imagery 30 Oct - Objavte, ako umelá inteligencia a veľké jazykové modely menia spôsob, akým odhaľujeme stopy minulosti. Webinár priblíži, ako pokročilé techniky umelej inteligencie inšpirované LLM dokážu analyzovať letecké a LiDARové snímky a detegovať archeologické lokality s bezprecedentnou presnosťou. Dr. Daniel Canedo z Univerzity v Aveire predstaví praktické príklady, v ktorých Vision Transformers a multimodálne učenie odhaľujú skryté vzory v krajine a spájajú moderné technológie s kultúrnym dedičstvom.
