NCC for HPC at the Hack Ko\u0161ice 2022<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On April 23-24, 2022, another year of the Hack Ko\u0161ice<\/a> 2022 hackathon took a place in Ko\u0161ice. The National Competence Centre for HPC<\/a>\u00a0 has brought its own challenge for participants: the Confidential Machine Learning Challenge<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Confidential computing is a very topical issue that is gaining in importance with the growing popularity of cloud services, and this aspect is also important in the provision of HPC (High-Performance Computing) services. These tools and techniques help providers ensure the security of client data during their processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competitors' role as \"service providers\" was to design and train an appropriate deep neural network (DNN) and \/ or gradient-boosted decision tree (GBDT) model on the data set provided. The condition was that any end user - the client - could use this model to process their data without the provider being able to decode \/ decrypt it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More information about the challenge that hackers could work on can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the hackathon, participants also had the opportunity to participate in a workshop on high-performance computing, where one of our lecturers explained how high-performance computing works, what are the areas of use and what are the possibilities of access to HPC infrastructure in Slovakia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team from the\u00a0Spacecode<\/a> Technical University in Ko\u0161ice won the award for the solution design - congratulations!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
