We would like to bring to your attention this course organized by EuroCC National Competence Center of Sweden. IT4Innovations as the EuroCC Czech National Competence Center is providing supercomputing resources for the hands-on exercises during this training and has been granted seats for our users.

The course will offer an introduction to the fundamental concepts of performance, power consumption, and energy efficiency in HPC systems. 

In February 13th, 1992, our country joined the Internet. We celebrated the anniversary at a conference. Famous Vint Cerf also sent his greetings.

The Council of the CESNET Development Fund announced the tender for development projects for 2022.

The first personality from the region of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) to be inducted into the prestigious Internet Hall of Fame is Jan Gruntorád, founder and until this July Director of CESNET Association.

Deep Learning is a powerful AI approach that uses multi-layered artificial neural networks to deliver state-of-the-art accuracy in tasks such as object detection, speech recognition, and language translation. Using deep learning, computers can learn and recognize patterns from data that are considered too complex or subtle for expert-written software. 

Applications for natural language processing (NLP) have exploded in the pastdecade. With the proliferation AI assistants and organizations infusing their businesses with more interactive human-machine experiences, understanding how NLP techniques can be used to manipulate analyze, and generate text-based data is essential.

The one-week course focuses on parallel programming with the Message Passing Interface (MPI), OpenMP and CUDA. A general introduction into HPC and its benefits will be presented and the different parallel programming paradigms will be duly explained allowing participants to write parallel applications that can fully exploit modern HPC hardware.

The EOSC Future project is hosting its first EOSC Future Open Days from 23 to 25 November 2021. The agenda is already available: https://eoscfuture.eu/eventsfuture/eosc-future-open-days/ 
 

This course is dedicated to the most powerful Czech supercomputer KAROLINA. Participants will learn about its architecture and key parameters, how to access IT4Innovations resources, how to run jobs and how to use the GPU accelerated partition. 

The CESNET Association has implemented a significant upgrade of the technology in the SAGElab network multimedia laboratory. The original five control servers have been replaced by one more powerful one, which displays content simultaneously on all twenty monitors available in the lab. In addition to the increased computing power, space and power savings have been made.

On Thursday, 23rd September 2021, a seminar to implement the EOSC (European Open Science Cloud) initiative in the Czech Republic was organized under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, the National Library of Technology, the e-INFRA CZ large research infrastructure and the Technology Centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences.

The EOSC Future project wants to develop a European Open Science Cloud that can support the shifting needs of the EU’s research communities. To do so, it is looking to understand the day-to-day work culture and habits of its current and potential users. That’s why it is launching its first user survey.

The e-INFRA CZ consortium has achieved the highest possible score in the international evaluation of large research infrastructures in the Czech Republic, which took place under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic.

At the beginning of August, the long-time director Jan Gruntorád handed over the management to the newly elected director Jakub Papírník.

The e-INFRA CZ consortium has implemented quantum key distribution, which has reached primacy in many ways.

The LUMI supercomputer is arriving and is building a support system tailored to the needs of the Users.

Starting Monday, June 7, applications are open for the 23rd Open Access Grant Competition of IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center.

The new director of the CESNET association will be Jakub Papírník, current director of the Charles University Computer Centre.

A meeting of experts in the field of network technologies at the CESNET e-Infrastructure Conference is approaching.
