Webinar: Supercomputing Services for Enterprises
The webinar "Supercomputing services for Enterprises" was organized by the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham Slovakia). The event took place online on July 7, 2022. What services can supercomputers provide for SMEs, large enterprises, or the public sector? The webinar ""Supercomputing services for Enterprises" was dedicated to these questions. Speakers during the webinar explained not only who can use high-performance computing services, but also how to access them.
Today, supercomputing enables industrial sectors to become more innovative, productive and shift business to a higher level. The advantages of using HPC start with a more precise design of complex work pieces, continue with speeding-up the time-to-market, and conclude with the cost-saving of materials and time savings which could be spent for further R&D.
HPC services are now available to Slovak SMEs and industry at the National competence centre for HPC. Slovak National Supercomputing Centre National Supercomputing Center - NSCC and National competence centre for HPC.
- Lucia Demovičová – National Competence Centre for HPC
- Lukáš Demovič – National Supercomputing Centre
- Michal Číž – Ministry of Investments, Regional Development and Informatization of the Slovak Republic
Currently, the Ministry of Investments, Regional Development and Informatization of SR is realizing a project aimed at the creation of a sustainable ecosystem of high performance computing, which will operate the supercomputer for the Slovak National Supercomputing Centre. The existence of such an ecosystem will benefit Slovakia’s innovation potential and increase cooperation between the public sector, private sector and research and academia.
The National Competence Center for HPC carries out a survey of competences and needs in the field of high-performance computing and the use of HPC+ solutions. Entrepreneurs, public and academic institutions can participate in the nationwide survey.
Central European Working Group in Slovenia 19 May - On May 19, 2025, we met with representatives of National Competence Centres for High-Performance Computing (HPC) from Central European countries. The in-person meeting of the Central European Working Group, held in Slovenia, provided us with an exceptional opportunity to exchange experiences, strengthen regional cooperation, and discuss the shared challenges and opportunities we face within the EuroCC project.
We built professional relationships and engaged in constructive discussions with representatives from neighboring countries that, like Slovakia, are running their national HPC competence centres and working on their continuous development.
Such meetings play an important role in shaping common approaches, identifying synergies, and sharing best practices in delivering services to users—whether they are research institutions, the public sector, or businesses.
What Is Artificial Intelligence Capable of Today? Watch the Recording of the Webinar "Training Machines to Detect Any Object" 16 May - Dňa 13. mája 2025 sa uskutočnil odborný webinár s názvom Trénovanie strojov na detekciu ľubovoľného objektu, ktorý pripravil RNDr. Andrej Lúčny, PhD. z Fakulty matematiky, fyziky a informatiky Univerzity Komenského v Bratislave. Prednáška bola zameraná na aktuálne výzvy a riešenia v oblasti strojového videnia a umelej inteligencie, pričom sa venovala najmä schopnosti systémov rozpoznávať objekty bez nutnosti ich predchádzajúcej kategorizácie.
HPC and Artificial Intelligence: Joining Forces for the Future of Technology 15 May - V utorok 14. mája 2025 sme sa zúčastnili podujatia PyData Slovakia & Bratislava Meetup #29, ktoré sa uskutočnilo v Bratislave. Stretnutie dátovej a technologickej komunity sa nieslo v duchu aktuálnych trendov v oblasti umelej inteligencie, s dôrazom na pochopenie fungovania veľkých jazykových modelov (Large Language Models – LLMs), ktoré dnes čoraz výraznejšie ovplyvňujú rôzne oblasti nášho života – od komunikácie, cez vzdelávanie až po riadenie procesov vo firmách a verejnej správe. Hlavným rečníkom večera bol Radovan Kavický, prezident a hlavný dátový vedec v GapData Institute, ktorý svojou prednáškou s názvom "Under the Hood of LLM" pútavo predstavil, čo sa skrýva pod povrchom dnešných pokročilých jazykových modelov.
