HPC 2024 Conference

Friday 15 Nov 2024, 09:30 → 18:40 Europe/Sofia

Sofia, Bulgaria ( Expo Hotel)

На 15 ноември от 9:30 до 17:30 часа в хотел Експо, София, ще се проведе традиционната конференция, посветена на използването на високопроизводителните пресмятания за наука и иновации. Тази година фокусът на конференцията НРС 2024 са постиженията на Центъра за високопроизводителни и разпределени пресмятания (НЦВРП), обект на Пътната карта за научна инфраструктура (НПКНИ) и Центъра за компетентност в областта на високопроизводителните пресмятания, изграден в рамките на европейски проект за създаване и развитие на мрежа от национални центрове (EuroCC2).

Програмата е структурирана в три сесии, които представят съществен ръст в използването на високопроизводителните пресмятания в България и нови значими резултати на потребители от изследователския сектор, публичната администрация и индустрията.

Докладите ще бъдат на български език!

On November 15, from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM, the traditional conference dedicated to the use of high-performance computing (HPC) for science and innovation will take place at the Expo Hotel in Sofia. This year, the focus of the HPC 2024 conference is on the achievements of the National Center for High-Performance and Distributed Computing (NCHDC), part of the National Roadmap for Research Infrastructure (NR RI), and the National Competence Center in the field of high-performance computing, established under a European project for creating and developing a network of National Competence  Centres (EuroCC2).

The program is structured into three sessions, showcasing significant growth in the use of high-performance computing in Bulgaria and presenting important new results achieved by users from the research sector, public administration, and industry.

The reports will be in Bulgarian!
