FF4EuroHPC experiment update: How to use AI and ML in agriculture sector? The idea of this experiment is to monitor the number of chickens, their weight and other parameters with the help of AI and a camera in which AI models will be integrated, and placed on poultry farms. Find more information here (based on FF4EuroHPC post on LinkedIn).
EuroCC Monteengro and UDG are participating in the FF4EuroHPC experiment – AIMHiGH. Currently working on the ML models to be used for the development of IoT edge sensors to count the number of chickens in an image and/or video and estimate growth. The goal of the AIMHiGH experiment is to validate the use of HPC in AI/ML training and evaluate acceleration in the development of these prediction models.

EuroCC NCC Montenegro participated in a national conference on Industry 4.0 and Cyber Security issues in Montenengro, where reference solutions on the possibility of applying HPC in the process of digitalization and possibilities for collaboration with EuroCC were presented. The conference is organized by UDG and in cooperation with the Chamber of Economy of Montenegro. Montenegrin NCC team gave presentation on the EuroCC project and the progress on activities so far. The team extended invitation for collaboration to all stakeholders and representatives from industry, academia and public sector.
H2020 AIMHiGH – FoodHub Centre of Excellence and Faculty for Information Systems and Technologies at the University of Donja Gorica organized a workshop on Digitalization in Agriculture and Food Supply Chain. This was an online event managed through Moodle LMS platform during Octobar 7-15, 2021. There was over 50 attendees, mainly students and faculty members, but also some representatives from the industry. The organization of the event was done in the context of DIPOL project sponsored by the Ministry of Science of Montenegro. UDG and DNET were responsible for the realization of the event. H2020 AIMHiGH project done as an experiment within the FF4EuroHPC project was presented by Mr. Stevan Cakic.
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.
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.
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:
