If you are interested in HPC, HPDA, and AI, you need to be in Montenegro in September

EuroCC project team, coordinated by the University of Stuttgart from Germany, decided that UDG will host this year’s international conference. The international scientific and academic conference called “EuroCC/CASTIEL” will take place from 6-9 September this year and will gather over 200 experts from 33 member countries of EuroHPC JU – Joint Undertaking for European High Performance Computing within the Horizon2020 program. The conference will cover topics from the field of HPC technologies and related disciplines such as high performance data analysis (HPDA), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, parallel programming, computer simulations and the like. The conference will be dedicated to current topics in the global age, as well as their impact on the entire society, including the latest technological and business achievements in this area. Emphasis will be placed on advanced e-infrastructure, the key component of which is precisely HPC, which contributes to the development of modern science and is essential for many advanced researches.
In addition to the above, the conference will present projects results, done as part of the FF4EuroHPC open calls, aimed at the highest quality experiments of innovative small and medium-sized enterprises across Europe, including the use of artificial intelligence, cloud technologies, HPC and others.
