High-Performance Computing: A Powerful Tool for Industry Leaders

You want to optimize your business processes and accelerate innovations?

You need additional computing resources for your R&D&I process?

You need expert support to parallelize or scale your software solutions?

You need access to HPC infrastructure to train AI models?

In the digital era of data explosion, traditional computing methods are struggling to keep pace. High-Performance Computing (HPC) offers powerful solutions, allowing analysis of massive datasets in real-time, running complex simulations, and extraction of valuable insights and actionable results – all within a secure and scalable environment. Big industries and SMEs use HPC systems or Supercomputers to build innovative strategies, techniques, and products.
NCC Montenegro serves as a gateway to European supercomputing expertise and infrastructure and supports researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs in their HPC and AI needs. NCC experts provide HPC/HPDA/AI technical consultations, training, and support services, adapted to the business environment and industry domains.

NCC Montenegro service portfolio

You will learn about HPC and AI and get ready to use it! Our HPC expert will assist you with your software development or code parallelization and will guide you through the application process to access the European most powerful supercomputers, significantly reducing your workload and work time. NCC services are free of charge, i.e. subsidized by EuroCC program support for innovation, research, and development.

NCC Montenegro shared its HPC academic-related experience at the Romanian event “HPC MasterClass”

Representative of NCC Montenegro Ms. Sanja Nikolic participated in the HPC Masterclass, a hybrid event held at “Ovidius” University of Constanța (20-24.05.2024) co-organized by NCC Romania. The second day of the training event was dedicated to NCC’s shared experience on HPC academic utilization and research excellence, introducing presenters from NCC Portugal, Montenegro, Bulgaria, France, and Luxembourg. Ms. Nikolic presented the development of the HPC+ (HPC and related technologies) educational ecosystem in Montenegro, intensively driven by the EuroCC project, NCC Montenegro and the University of Donja Gorica.

NCC Montenegro is focused on developing HPC/HPDA/AI academic programs, study courses, and training portfolios, following a sustained learning pathway:

• HPC/AI-related seasonal schools to mobilize high-school students and high-tech enthusiasts to enroll in HPC/AI-related academic programs. (“Open Mind Academy”).
• BSc restructured program (M1-Software Development and M2-Digital Transformation), and first nationally accredited AI Master Program, at Faculty for Information Systems and Technologies.
• Professional training courses, workshops, and networking events for academia and industry participants providing in-demand HPC/AI knowledge, technical upskilling, and supercomputing hands-on sessions.

NCC Montenegro’s training portfolio covers technology-specific know-how (HPC system architecture and applications, Parallel Programming, Python Programming, Deep Learning, Edge IoT, Computer Vision, NLL) and industry-specific priority domains, defined by the Smart Specialization Strategy of Montenegro (energy, health, tourism, agriculture, ICT).

NCC Montenegro is also fully exploiting joint training opportunities within the pan-European NCC network – to capitalize on their HPC expertise and resources, as well as productive collaboration with key MNE stakeholders (business associations, technical affiliations, and funding institutions) – to enhance national HPC/AI awareness, outreach and uptake.

Nvidia AI for Science Bootcamp

The AI for Scientific Computing Bootcamp provides a step-by-step overview of the fundamentals of deep neural networks and walks attendees through the hands-on experience of building and improving deep learning models for applications related to scientific computing and physical systems defined by differential equations. The material will cover more advanced topics such as physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) and operator learning and make use of tools like NVIDIA Modulus to develop and train the models. This online bootcamp is a hands-on learning experience where you will be guided through step-by-step instructions with teaching assistants on hand to help throughout.

This Bootcamp, which will be hosted virtually for three days on June 25 – 26, is co-organized by the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS), Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ), Vienna Scientific Cluster (VSC), University of Donja Gorica, RISE Research Institutes Of Sweden, Linköping University, OpenACC organization, and NVIDIA for EuroCC Austria, EuroCC@GCS, EuroCC Montenegro, and EuroCC Sweden, all National Competence Centres for High-Performance Computing.
