EuroCC project has past its 1 year anniversary. It has been a great first year and we are looking forward to the exciting road ahead of us.
1 Year Anniversary EuroCC
Seminar – University in the Future of Miracles, The AI Economy
On the 31st of August 2021 at the Univeresity of Donja Gorica a seminar called “University in the future of miracles” whose creator is professor Veselin Vukotic, rector of the University, was held. The idea of the seminar is to engage into discussion and exchange of ideas about books which were given on the recommendation of professor Vukotic:
- “The AI Economy: Work, Wealth and Welfare in the Age of the Robot”, Roger Bootle;
- “Superconnected: internet, digitalni mediji i tehno-društveni život”, Mary Chayko;
- „Change “, Richard Gerver.
The book chosen for the first seminar was “The AI Economy: Work, Wealth and Welfare in the Age of the Robot” by Roger Bootle. The presenters had the opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas about the book as well as engage into discussions with all present.
According to the planned agenda, the introductory speech was given by professor Vukotic, after which the chosen presenters continued. Short introductory presentations were given by: Zoran Djikanovic PhD, Ivana Ognjanovic PhD and Luka Lakovic MSc.
The seminar was attended by around 70 professors and associates of UDG.
UDG researchers will be presenting a paper at IEEE IcETRAN 2021 Conference
Members of our EuroCC Montenegro team will be presenting the paper titled “Combined adaptive load balancing algorithm for parallel applications”, authored by L. Filipovic, B. Krstajic, and T. Popovic, at the upcoming IcETRAN 2021 conference. The conference will be taking place on Sep 8-10, 2021. More info on the conference is available at the following link.
ABSTRACT – Development and improvement of efficient techniques for parallel task scheduling on multiple cores processors is one of the key issues encountered in parallel and distributed computer systems. The purpose of process distribution improvement in parallel applications is in increased system performance, reduced application execution time, reduced losses and increased resource utilization.
This paper presents combined adaptive load balancing algorithm based on domain decomposition and master-slave
algorithms and its core scheduling adaptive mechanism that handles load redistribution according obtained and analyzed data. Selection of distribution algorithm, based on collected parameters and previously defined conditions, proved to deliver increased performances and reduced imbalance. Results of simulations confirm better performance of proposed algorithms compared to the standard algorithms reviewed in this paper.
First FF4EuroHPC Open Call in Numbers
A pretty interesting presentation about first FF4EuroHPC Open Call statistics is given at the following link. EuroCC Montenegro and UDG are partners in the AIMHiGH project that put Montenegro on map for FF4EuroHPC experiments.
UDG on S3 Platform
University of Donja Gorica and EuroCC NCC Montenegro are featured on S3 Platform . UDG can be found under Digital Innovation Hubs section for Montenegro. Learn more about the S3 platform at the following link.
Fortissimo FF4EuroHPC Experiment Workshop
HPC NCC Moontenegro is attending a two day workshop on experiments done in context of FF4EuroHPC project demonstrating the use of HPC, HPDA and AI for solving real-life problems using HPC technology (July 6-7, 2021). Over 50 participants attending and discussing the benefits and opportunities HPC, HPDA and AI offer. The experiments are focused on business aspect of applications and demonstration on how HPC, DA and AI can help crete new vaule to SMEs. NCC Montenegro is participating in one of the FF4EuroHPC experiments targeting the use of HPC and AI in creation of a HPC supported computer vision sensors for the poultry sector.
Info Day: EuroCC project – National Competence Centers in the Framework of EuroHPC
On July 2nd 2021 at the University of Donja Gorica an Info day was held within the EuroCC project – National Competence Centers in the Framework of EuroHPC.
The aim of the project is to raise the level of knowledge and expertise in the field of HPC technologies (high performance computing), review the existing and potential application of HPC technologies in the field of small and medium enterprises, and establish the HPC National Center of Excellence for Montenegro that will provide technical expertise and access to supercomputers through cloud infrastructure.
The Info day was attended by around 50 participants, representatives of academic institutions from three universities, research institutions and various companies in Montenegro. The aim of the Info Day was to present the activities and work of NCC Montenegro as well as the presentation and implementation of the first HPC4SME Assessment Tool and discussions about the possibilities for future cooperation.
In addition to the above mentioned, Mr. Tomi Ilijaš presented the possibilities of FF4EuroHPC Open Call 2.
