Supercomputer for Everyone: Dare to Discover the World of Modern Computing
Once, supercomputers were a mysterious technology accessible only to top scientists working in futuristic laboratories. Today, however, a completely new story is being written. Supercomputers are now available to ordinary users — from universities, small companies, and even public administration — anyone who needs to handle computations far beyond the capabilities of a regular computer.
Researchers have prepared a simple user guide that explains, step by step, how to access available computing power. They did it themselves with the aim of helping anyone who wants to process large datasets, train artificial intelligence, model natural phenomena, or create new technological solutions. Just register, obtain a project, and you can explore, invent, and tackle your boldest ideas.
There’s no reason to be afraid.
You can think of a supercomputer as an extremely powerful machine with thousands of “brains” working together. It’s not sitting in your office or glowing under your desk — it’s housed in a specialized data center, and you control it conveniently through a web browser.
You simply prepare your task and submit it to the system. While the supercomputer gets to work, you can relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. Within minutes or hours, you’ll receive results that would take your laptop weeks to compute — or that it might not be able to handle at all.
Who can it help?
- students processing large amounts of data
- scientists testing new artificial intelligence algorithms
- meteorologists working on weather forecasting
- designers and engineers running simulations and developing new solutions
- doctors and biologists analyzing genomes or medical data
- small innovative companies without their own computing infrastructure
And many other fields are waiting for someone brave enough to explore them.
Why is it important?
We need a new impulse for innovation. We have smart people, bold ideas, and now also a tool that saves time, money, and opens the path to world-class results. The supercomputer is here to accelerate scientific progress and drive economic growth.
The first webinar coming soon
The authors of the guide are preparing a practical webinar designed for complete beginners. We’ll show that access to supercomputing is truly within everyone’s reach — for anyone unafraid to explore new possibilities. The goal is to spark curiosity and break down the barriers between technology and its users.
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.
