EuroCC2: The HPC lab team will participate in the webinar European AI Applications – Large Language Models for Business
Webinar info & registration:
https://events.vsc.ac.at/event/121/registrations/115/
Two speakers will present business use cases, discuss the impact of AI for businesses and even show a LIVE DEMO – the CEO of hercules.ai will show how their “AI employees” work. Hercules.ai came to us through the Supercomputing Accelerator and is collaborating with EuroCC Sweden and Austria.
Tuesday, February 27th, 2024
11:00 – 13:00 (Sofia Time)
Organized jointly by NCC France and NCC Netherlands, this webinar aims to introduce the technologies of Quantum Computing and present the challenges and perspectives.
After an introduction, this webinar will address quantum gate-based computing, annealers, analog computing, and quantum simulation. French Ecosystem and the HQI program (France Hybrid HPC Quantum Initiative) which aims to provide free access to HPC-Quantum infrastructures for the needs of open, academic and industrial research, will be presented.

Dr. Ivan Hristov and Dr. Radoslava Hristova have revisited the problem of Three-body periodic collisionless equal-mass free-fall orbits,using high-accuracy numerical methods and a high-performance computer (Nestum cluster, Sofia Tech Park, Bulgaria http://hpc-lab.sofiatech.bg/) and have found that(1) 15,738 i.c.s corresponding to 12,409 distinct solutions with T ∗ < 80. We use morerestrictive condition on the periods than Li and Liao: T < min(7, 80/|E|3/2).(2) When we apply time evolution of the (primary) i.c.s up to one half-period, we easily find8844 additional i.c.s., bringing the number of i.c.s up to 24,582. Some of the additionalorbits are ones that are missed by the search, but others are with T > 7 and T ∗ < 80.Therefore by applying this procedure we compensate to some extent that we use theless time consuming condition: T < min(7, 80/|E|3/2) instead of the ultimate one:T < 80/|E|3/2 . Now only 236 solutions (∼ 2%) are identified as self-dual, whichcontrast to the large number ∼ 43% of Li and Liao.(3) Certain partitioning of i.c.s within Agekyan–Anosova domain D, which are in agreementwith Tanikawa et al.’s division of D by 3-cylinders and 4-cylinders.(4) Distinct upper and lower bounds on the periods of orbits as (linear) functions of the length of symbolic sequence (word length)

The HPC lab was visited by Dr. K.Kostov, a former researcher at the University of Chicago, who currently is investing in spin-off companies. Possibilities for using the HPC lab resources for training physical chemists working for pharmacy were in the focus.
Date: 17.01.2024
Time: 16:30 – 18:00
The focus of the meeting was the upgrade of the NESTUM HPC cluster (FUJITSU based).
Mr. Andonov also informed the HPC team about the Fujitsu technology to automatically generate new AI solutions specific to customers’ business needs.It has been decided to organise a seminar in the HPC lab – Sofia Tech Park on the topic. The exact date in February 2024 will be announced soon.
Date: 22.01.2024
Time: 13:30 – 16:30
The HPC lab team discusses the involvement of the VGG-Consulting (V. G. Gueorguiev, Ph.D.) in the EUMaster4HPC
program as a mentor of the masters enrolled in the HPC program (Sofia University, University of Luxembourg)
Dr. Gueorguiev has been a Quantum Computing Mentor at the Quantum Open Source Foundation and the QWorld summer QIntern programs.
Dr. V. Gueorguiev is currently affiliated with the Ronin Institute, NJ, USA and the Institute for Advanced Physical Studies, Sofia, Bulgaria.
He does research in Nuclear Physics, Theoretical Physics, and Mathematical Physics.
