ABSTRACT – The efficiency of training artificial intelligence (AI) models has become a crucial factor in modern research, especially when dealing with complex systems that require substanial computational power. This study explores how the application of high-performance computing (HPC) and Edge devices can optimize the AI model training process, reducing processing time and improving efficiency. Through an experimental approach, AI model training was analyzed across three different platforms. Local computer, Google Colab and the HPC cluster at the University of Donja Gorica. As a practical example, livestock detection was used. By comparing the training time, memory consumption, and model accuracy, the research demonstrates that HPC clusters significantly accelerate the training process compared to traditional methods, while Edge devices enable faster real-time data analysis.

There was around 30 people attending. This was a small celebration for EuroCC2 and EuroCC4SEE projects
