The supercomputer BOB, operational since July 5, 2019, has completed its queues at MACC, marking the end of its productive tenure. It has supported 112 projects and more than 300 users.

Marija Vranic is the first researcher affiliated with a Portuguese institution (Instituto Superior Técnico) to receive this award. Much of the work she has been developing in plasma physics involves simulations, in which supercomputing resources have been essential.

The 34 countries that participate in EuroCC 2 met in Germany to mark the official start of the project.

There are two new calls to train future HPC specialists, develop a training platform and support the International HPC Summer School.

High performance computing is supporting the development of a new technology that can predict the effectiveness of cancer treatments to ensure that each patient gets the right one.

The improvements are intended for cloud and high-performance computing in various parts of the country. In one of them, a new operational center is even being built.

EuroHPC JU has opened several access modes to European supercomputers to ensure that it meets the needs of researchers, research centers, public authorities and industries that want to apply.

Applications for the master’s degrees that are under the EUMaster4HPC program are running until February 23, 2023.

For February next year, the EuroCC project is organizing a course on LUMI. Everyone interested in learning more about the machine is invited to participate.

JUPITER, Europe’s most awaited supercomputing system, will be operated by the Jülich Supercomputing Centre. The agreement has already been concluded between the German center and the EuroHPC JU.

The High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has opened two calls for expression of interest to select entities to receive and operate new machines

Oncological and inflammatory diseases are the target of researchers who are now using quantum computing combined with HPC to get innovative and effective drugs faster and cheaper.

Henri’s far from being the fastest system, but it’s the best in energy efficiency. Although far from the first three places, LUMI is in the top 10.

LUMI, the supercomputer installed in Finland, is still the third fastest in the world, but LEONARDO, another European system, has broken through the list and is on the doorstep of the podium.

A primeira edição presencial do Encontro RNCA 2022 teve lugar no LNEC, durante o dia 15 de novembro. Debateu-se a computação portuguesa e europeia, os desafios que ainda existem, os marcos já alcançados e as próximas apostas.

Until November 17th, research teams from non-corporate entities dedicated to Advanced Computing, Medical Physics for Emerging Cancer Therapies, Nanomaterials for New Markets, and Space-Earth Interactions can apply for funding up to 50,000 euros.

The event brings together engineers, administrators and managers of technological systems used in laboratories and institutions of Nuclear and High Energy Physics. It will take place between October 31 and November 3, in Sweden.

MACC (Minho Advanced Computing Centre) and the Portuguese Navy are collaborating in a range of initiatives, with the aim to train the Portuguese Navy in HPC.

The four days of IBERGRID, organized at the University of Algarve, have come to an end. The return of the conference was marked by updates on the Iberian and European panorama and the presentation of numerous works that well illustrate the need for these partnerships. See you next year! (And yes, there are already details…

Developed by NVIDIA, it uses Artificial Intelligence to elevate collaboration between humans and machines, particularly in healthcare.

High-fidelity simulations allowed to observe quantities that would not otherwise be accessible, contributing to unveiling crucial mechanisms in engineering and natural flows

Seven master’s students participated in the first program organized by Instituto Superior Técnico, with projects related to HPC and technology transfer.

Eleven projects that had applied for the $2 million in Google Cloud Platform credits, made available through a collaboration agreement between FCT and Google, were approved.

Polaris, the new machine at Argonne National Laboratory, is serving as a testbed for America to cross the exascale barrier once again.

It was planned and produced in a couple of years, for the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in the United States of America. Smaller and more powerful, it is ready to serve the scientific community in collecting and making data available and in optimizing atmospheric model simulations.

“MareNostrum 5” will support European researchers in the development of drugs, vaccines and, among others, simulations of virus propagation.

It’ll be the first European supercomputer to break the exascale barrier, a few days after the announcement of the first machine (in the world) able to do so. The installation is planned to begin in 2023, in Germany.

During Europe’s largest High Performance Computing (HPC) event, ISC 2022, the Top500 list of the world’s fastest supercomputers was released. LUMI – Europe’s top machine – is ranked third.
