Collecting Marine Debris with HPC - ETP4HPC Webinar
We bring to your attention a webinar organized by FF4EuroHPC and ETP4HPC which will take place on Friday, July 8 (11:00 am - 12:00 pm). At the event two FF4EuroHPC success stories, focused on environmental impact, will be presented, showcasing the implementation of the HPC & AI technologies for business. The webinar will be really interesting for researcher, HPC providers, software developers and most important, business oriented companies.
The FF4EuroHPC project gives European SMEs the opportunity to use European high-end HPC services to develop innovative products or solutions. The two FF4EuroHPC open calls target high-quality experiments involving innovative, agile SMEs. Each experiment is an end-user-relevant case study demonstrating the use of Cloud-based HPC and the benefits it brings to the value chain from the end-user to the HPC-infrastructure provider.
This webinar will focus on two experiments related to environmental impact, which were both successfully concluded:
MARINE LITTER HUNTER – HPC-Based navigation system for an autonomous marine litter-hunting project
Emanuele Della Volpe, CEO and Aerospace Engineer at Green Tech Solution will introduce the Marine Litter Hunter experiment to the participants. Green Tech Solution (GTS) has automated the collection of marine litter thought real-time identification of floating plastic debris on the sea via unmanned vehicles that send GPS coordinates to an unmanned vessel, through a ground control station, which reaches and collects the plastic waste, without the intervention of operators.
The limited ability to predict the future position of the debris is limiting the efficiency of the entire system as the time and energy consumption of collection increases significantly. The HPC experiment allow us to drive into the next phase the collaboration of the unmanned systems for:
- Marine Litter Recognition
- Marine Litter Path Prediction
- Marine Litter Recovery strategy Optimization
HERCULES – weather forecast for drone operation
Project Hercules will be presented by Jose L. Munoz Gamarra, echnical Director at Aslogic. The HERCULES project develops specific weather forecast models for drones, as due to their size they are much more vulnerable to adverse wind flight conditions. In this project, we have developed an approach independent of ground infrastructures.
10th International Conference on Polymer Materials in the Automotive Industry – PMA 2025 and the 26th Slovak Rubber Conference 1 Jun - V dňoch 21. – 23. mája 2025 sa na Smolenickom zámku konala prestížna vedecká konferencia PMA & SRC 2025, zameraná na polymérne materiály v automobilovom priemysle a kaučukársky výskum. Na podujatí vystúpila aj Lucia Malíčková z Národného superpočítačového centra (NSCC Slovakia) a Národného kompetenčného centra pre vysokovýkonné počítanie (NCC for HPC).
Recording of the Webinar: Use of HPC at the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute 31 May - Thank you to everyone who attended the expert online lecture Use of HPC at the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute, led by Mgr. Mária Derková, PhD., from the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute.
Slovak Language in the Era of Large Language Models (with the Support of the Leonardo Supercomputer) 29 May - Srdečne vás pozývame na spoločný webinár o modelovaní jazyka, ktorý organizujú Národné kompetenčné centrá pre HPC na Slovensku a v Taliansku. Nástup veľkých jazykových modelov (LLM), ktoré si vyžadujú obrovské množstvo trénovacích dát, pôvodne znevýhodňoval používateľov málo zastúpených jazykov.
