Twinning collaboration between the Slovenian and Slovak NCCs
Based on a recommendation by Castiel CSA, which coordinates the activities of national competence centers within the EuroCC project, Slovakia started a collaboration with its Slovenian partner. The main topic is training activities and both countries will provide a series of courses for attendees from both countries. The partnership will also promote the exchange of ideas and experiences and further joint activities.
Twinning je typ spolupráce, pri ktorej dvaja alebo viac rovnocenných partnerov poskytuje svoju expertízu pre vzájomné obohatenie. Každý z partnerov pri tom vyniká inými kompetenciami a navzájom sa tak dopĺňajú. Slovinsko a Slovensko majú na medzinárodnom poli dlhodobo veľmi dobré vzťahy a sme radi že ich v rámci projektu EuroCC môžeme začať budovať aj v oblasti vysokovýkonného počítania.
Spolupráca začala výmenou skúseností s organizovaním vzdelávacích aktivít a prácou s malými a strednými podnikmi. Pokračovať bude výmenou online kurzov, z ktorých prvé sa uskutočnia už v máji a v júni 2022 a budú k dispozícii účastníkom z oboch krajín. Kurz “Neurónové siete s knižnicou TensorFlow” poskytnú školitelia zo slovenského NCC a uskutoční sa 25. – 26. 5. 2022. Kurz “GPU programovanie s CUDA” poskytnú slovinský lektori 20. – 21. 6. 2021. Spolupráca bude pokračovať na jeseň kurzami o paralelnom programovaní vo Fortran-e a o veľkých dátach v prostredí Spark-Hadoop (detaily zverejníme neskôr).

Artificial Intelligence and a Supercomputer as a New Weapon Against Environmental Disasters 26 Mar - Scientists from Nitra, Slovakia are teaching machines to predict industrial failures before they can cause damage. Thanks to collaboration with the European supercomputer LUMI, they have developed a digital “guardian” capable of detecting pipeline leaks or manufacturing faults with high accuracy—helping protect both the environment and companies’ budgets.
The Slovak Recipe for Fair Play and Happier Players 25 Mar - Do you play games on your phone and sometimes feel like the game just doesn’t understand you? Experts from Nitra, Slovakia, have used one of Europe’s most powerful supercomputers to change that. Thanks to the Italian giant named Leonardo, they discovered how to read between the lines of player behavior and make the gaming experience more personal and fair.
