Webinar: The Use of HPC at the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute
We invite you to an online lecture – The Use of HPC at the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute, led by Mgr. Mária Derková, PhD. from the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute.
Since 2021, SHMÚ has been using the high-performance computing system NEC-LX to support its operations. The main tool for numerical weather prediction, which is run operationally on this HPC system, is the ALADIN model. We will present its various configurations and their use not only for weather forecasting purposes. Other computational systems are also operated on the HPC infrastructure, including climatological and hydrological models, as well as models for air quality analysis and forecasting—many of which rely on input from the ALADIN model. HPC also facilitates the processing of large-volume data and measurements from radars, satellites, and similar sources. The presentation will also touch on future possibilities for HPC use at SHMÚ, such as nowcasting, ensemble forecasting, and (potentially) AI/ML techniques.

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.
Call for Business Experiments – Support for SMEs in the Implementation of HPC Solutions 28 Jun - We draw your attention to the second open call under the FFplus project, which focuses on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in addressing specific business challenges through High Performance Computing (HPC). The aim of the call is to carry out so-called “business experiments” designed to demonstrate that the use of HPC technologies can solve real-world problems and have a positive impact on business.
