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.

Strategický rozvoj a internacionalizácia 30 Apr - Národné superpočítačové centrum (NSCC) navštívil Jari Hämäläinen, uznávaný fínsky expert a poradca rektora Slovenskej technickej univerzity v Bratislave (STU) pre strategický rozvoj a internacionalizáciu. Stretnutie s projektovou koordinátorkou NSCC, Luciou Malíčkovou, otvorilo dvere novej úrovni spolupráce medzi akademickou sférou a špičkovou výpočtovou infraštruktúrou.
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.
