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.

Dr. L. Filipovic will be presenting the paper at the IcETRAN 2021, Sep 8-10, 2021

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.

Over 50 people attending during the first day of the workshop

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.

Info Day at UDG/NCC Montenegro was attended by 50 participants from industry

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.

HPC Info Day for Companies

HPC NCC Montenegro is organizing an Info Day for companies in Montenegro. The event will take place at the University of Donja Gorica (amphitheater AS) on July 2, 2021. The main goal of the event is to inform the industry community about the EuroCC project and the activities of HPC NCC Montenegro. NCC will provide a short introduction on HPC and its applications. Also, we invited representatives from FF4EuroHPC project to promote the Open Call #2 for SMEs during this event. Finally, we will inform the companies about the HPC assessment tool and invite them to participate in the survey. The agenda is provided below:

AIMHiGH Project Kick-off Meeting at UDG

New H2020 project: AIMHiGH project Kick-off meeting took place at the University of Donja Gorica on 26 June 2021. The title of the project is AI/ML Enabled by HPC for Edge Camera Devices for the Next Generation Hen Farms and it is funded as an application experiment within Horizon 2020 FF4EuroHPC project. The AIMHiGH project proposes the use of HPC and deep learning AI to create prediction models that can be deployed on the edge devices equipped with camera sensors for the use in IoT/AI solutions in the poultry sector. UDG will be providing HPC and domain expertise through NCC Montenegro and FoodHub Centre of Excellence.

Kick-off Meeting on 26.06.2021 at UDG
NCC Montenegro will take active role to support the implementation
AIMHiGH partners joined in UDG premises on 26.06.2021.
