TREX CoE & NCCs collab / Code tuning for the exascale
TREX centre of excellence together with 3 national competence centres delivered a three-day workshop „Code tuning for the exascale“. NCC Slovakia, Austria and Czech Republic teamed up to bring an interesting programme including advanced parallel programming, energy efficiency analysis and HPC application optimization. The workshop took place in Bratislava, Slovakia during June 5 – 7, 2023 and was organized in a face-to-face format.
This was a nice example of collaboration and support between the NCCs and a CoE. Three complementary topics were covered by the agenda. During the first day the team from Austrian NCC presented advanced parallel programming techniques (MPI, OpenMP), followed by the presentation of a trending topic of energy efficiency in HPC by the Czech NCC on the second day. The third day belonged to the TREX CoE, which presented a tool for HPC applications performance analysis and optimization called MAQAO. Organization, access to HPC and technical HPC support was given by the Slovak NCC.
We hope the workshop fulfilled its‘ purpose to equip the participants with information, tools, skills and competence to help the develop and run efficiently their own software utilizing modern HPC infrastructures.
Webinar: Digital Forensics in the Era of Big Data 25 Apr - National Competence Centres for HPC in Slovakia, Austria, and the Czech Republic invite you to an expert session on how high-performance computing (HPC) can support digital forensics in modern large-scale environments. The webinar is hosted by the National Competence Centre for HPC in Slovakia. 
NSCC at the General Assembly of the Slovak Plastics Cluster: Supercomputing Technologies as a Driver of Industrial Innovation 22 Apr - Dňa 10. apríla 2025 sa v Nitre uskutočnilo Valné zhromaždenie Slovenského plastikárskeho klastra (SPK), ktoré bolo zároveň oslavou 16. výročia jeho založenia. Národné superpočítačové centrum sa ako pozvaný hosť aktívne zúčastnilo tohto významného podujatia, zameraného na rozvoj plastikárskeho a strojárskeho priemyslu na Slovensku.
Supercomputers for Business – Article in the SOPK Monthly 17 Apr - V najnovšom čísle mesačníka Slovenskej obchodnej a priemyselnej komory (SOPK) sme predstavili, ako technológie High Performance Computing (HPC) a služby Národného superpočítačového centra pomáhajú slovenským firmám inovovať, urýchliť vývoj a získať konkurenčnú výhodu. Superpočítače už dávno nie sú výlučne nástrojom akademickej sféry – dnes zohrávajú kľúčovú úlohu aj v priemysle, zdravotníctve, energetike či automobilovom sektore. V článku približujeme konkrétne príklady z praxe a ukazujeme, ako sa výpočtový výkon superpočítača využíva pri riešení reálnych výziev firiem.
