Step inside Slovenia’s world of supercomputing
and learn what it takes behind the servers to make it all possible!
On 15 and 16 October, Slovenian supercomputing centres will open their doors as part of the NCC SLING Open Days and Exascale Computing Day 2026, offering a closer look at the infrastructure behind today’s most demanding scientific, HPC and AI workloads. We are particularly pleased that two centres featured in this year’s Open Days — EuroHPC Vega and FRIDA — carry the NTR engineering signature.
Over the years, our engineering has supported a growing number of supercomputing environments in Slovenia and abroad: Maister at the University of Maribor, EuroHPC Vega at IZUM, the DHMZ supercomputing infrastructure in Zagreb, FRIDA at the University of Ljubljana, PERUN at the Slovak Academy of Sciences, and the new Arnes Data Centre in Maribor. These projects have given us extensive hands-on expertise in one of the key engineering challenges of the AI era: creating infrastructure capable of supporting extremely high computing densities reliably and efficiently. From high-capacity power distribution and redundancy to direct liquid cooling, RDHx, CDU integration, hybrid cooling architectures, heat recovery and advanced monitoring, we design the physical infrastructure that enables modern HPC, GPU and AI systems to perform at their full potential. To perform at their full potential, Vega alone operates with a peak IT power of up to 830 kW, while NTR’s cooling concept keeps cooling power consumption below 50 kW year-round and achieves an annual PUE below 1.06.
Building on this experience and closely tracking developments in the field, NTR stays at the forefront of supercomputing and AI infrastructure, continuously integrating the latest technologies into solutions engineered for what comes next.
🚀 Ste se kdaj vprašali, kako izgledajo superračunalniki, ki poganjajo umetno inteligenco, znanstvene preboje in tehnološke inovacije?
Partnerji Slovenskega nacionalnega superračunalniškega omrežja SLING vas vabimo na Dan odprtih vrat slovenskih superračunalniških centrov – oz. Dan exascale računalništva 2026, ki bo potekal 15. in 16. oktobra 2026.
💡 Obdobje exascale računalništva prinaša novo generacijo superračunalnikov, ki omogočajo razvoj naprednih modelov umetne inteligence, obdelavo ogromnih količin podatkov ter reševanje najzahtevnejših raziskovalnih in industrijskih izzivov.
🔍 Kaj vas čaka?
✅ Ogledi superračunalniških centrov po Sloveniji
✅ Predstavitve uporabe HPC in umetne inteligence v znanosti in gospodarstvu
✅ Resnični primeri uporabe iz slovenskega raziskovalnega in industrijskega okolja
✅ Virtualni ogledi superračunalniških sistemov
✅ Interaktivna delavnica o povezovanju superračunalnikov in kvantnega računalništva
✅ Program za dijake, študente, raziskovalce, podjetja in širšo javnost
🏢 Svoja vrata bodo odprli:
📍 EuroHPC Vega (Maribor)
📍 HPC Trdina (Novo mesto)
📍 Arctur-AI (Nova Gorica)
📍 Ažmanov računski center (Kemijski inštitut - National Institute of Chemistry)
📍 FRIDA (University of Ljubljana FRI)
📍 Superračunalniški gruči Arnes in Jozef Stefan Institute v Ljubljani
🌐 Na voljo bo tudi spletni dogodek s predstavitvijo storitev NCC SLING, primeri uporabe superračunalništva in virtualnimi sprehodi po slovenskih superračunalniških centrih.
🎫 Udeležba je brezplačna, prijava pa obvezna. Zaradi omejenega števila mest priporočamo pravočasno registracijo.
