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.

Accountability by Design: Turning AI Standards into Practice and Certification 12 Mar - Exploring how the EU AI Act translates harmonized standards into real-world AI testing and certification.
Discover how the EU AI Act moves from regulatory text to technical implementation — and what this means for organisations developing and deploying AI systems.
Urban buildings awaken: Slovak AI gives a second chance to underused spaces 4 Mar - Mestá sú živé organizmy, ktoré sa neustále menia. Mnohí z nás však v susedstve denne míňajú tiché svedectvá minulosti – prázdne školy, nevyužívané úrady či chátrajúce verejné budovy. Často si kladieme otázky: „Prečo je to zatvorené?“ „Nemohol by tu byť radšej denný stacionár, škôlka alebo kultúrne centrum?“
BeeGFS in Practice — Parallel File Systems for HPC, AI and Data-Intensive Workloads 6 Feb - This webinar introduces BeeGFS, a leading parallel file system designed to support demanding HPC, AI, and data-intensive workloads. Experts from ThinkParQ will explain how parallel file systems work, how BeeGFS is architected, and how it is used in practice across academic, research, and industrial environments.
