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.
How to Communicate Science and Technology Effectively: Our Team’s Experience 22 Aug - Our team has long been dedicated not only to the development of high-performance computing, but also to the effective communication of the results and opportunities we bring to industry, academia, and the next generation of researchers. We consider this a key part of our work – a modern scientific and technological institution today cannot operate in isolation but must be able to clearly and transparently communicate the value and impact of its activities.
HPC and MATLAB: A Strong Partnership for Accessible Supercomputing 19 Aug - Minulý týždeň sa uskutočnilo zaujímavé pracovné stretnutie, na ktorom sa Lucia Malíčková, zastrešujúca Národné superpočítačové centrum a Národné kompetenčné centrum pre HPC, stretla s Martinom Foltínom zo spoločnosti HUMUSOFT s.r.o., oficiálneho distribútora MathWorks. 
Webinar: How a Large Language Model is Created for a Low-Resource Language 14 Aug - Pozývame vás na náš ďalší odborný webinár, ktorý sa zameria na pokroky v oblasti umelej inteligencie pre slovinský jazyk. Podujatie sa uskutoční online v polovici septembra a ponúkne jedinečnú príležitosť nazrieť do zákulisia vývoja veľkého jazykového modelu prispôsobeného pre jazyk s obmedzenými zdrojmi. Prednášajúcim bude Domen Vreš z Univerzity v Ľubľane, Fakulty informatiky a počítačových vied, ktorý sa dlhodobo venuje výskumu v oblasti spracovania prirodzeného jazyka a umelej inteligencie.
