Women in HPC
Lucia Malíčková, an expert in high-performance computing (HPC) and research-innovation ecosystems, has recently become a mentor in the international mentoring programme organized by Women in High Performance Computing (WHPC). Her involvement in this global initiative is a testament to the growing effort to promote diversity and equal opportunities in the technology sector. WHPC has been committed for several years to supporting women and other underrepresented groups in the field of high-performance computing. Their mentoring programme connects experienced professionals with those at the beginning of their careers, creating space for talent development, knowledge exchange, and career growth.
Lucia Malíčková encourages anyone interested in WHPC, mentoring, or getting involved in the community to reach out to her. As an active member of the community, she shares her experience, inspires other professionals, and helps foster an inclusive environment in research, technology, and computational science.
This engagement also aligns with the broader celebration of Women’s History Month, which aims to highlight the contributions of women across all sectors — including the technology space, where there is still work to be done to achieve equal representation.
“Being part of this inspiring network of professionals who support diversity and growth in the field of HPC is a meaningful step for me,” Malíčková wrote in her LinkedIn post.
Superpočítač pre každého: odvážte sa objaviť svet moderných výpočtov 28 Oct - Kedysi boli superpočítače tajomnou technológiou, ku ktorej mali prístup iba špičkoví vedci vo futuristických laboratóriách. Dnes však začína platiť úplne nový príbeh. Superpočítač na Slovensku môžu využívať aj obyčajní ľudia z univerzít, menších firiem, či dokonca zo štátnej správy, ktorí potrebujú zvládnuť výpočty, na aké bežný počítač jednoducho nestačí.
Webinar amália: Towards a Multimodal LLM for European Portuguese 27 Oct - Pridajte sa k nášmu inšpiratívnemu webináru o vývoji amália, portugalského veľkého jazykového modelu, ktorý prináša bohatstvo európskej portugalčiny do novej éry multimodálnej umelej inteligencie.
Na podujatí vystúpi prof. João Magalhães z NOVA LINCS, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, ktorý predstaví ciele, architektúru a pokrok tohto národného AI projektu. Prednáška sa zameria na to, ako amália kombinuje spracovanie textu, reči, obrazu a videa a ako prispieva k vytváraniu kultúrne ukotvených a dôveryhodných systémov umelej inteligencie pre verejný sektor, akademickú sféru a priemysel.
