Projects

When using industrial machines for additive manufacturing, heat and its dissipation to individual structural elements of the machine play one of the major roles. One of the aspects of the influence of heat is the heated working space inside the machine itself that is very important because most materials used in different industries require heated work chambers, passively or actively heated. The vision of this project is to establish and predict the impact of this heat on the structure and motion system of the machine using HPC infrastructure. The experiment is divided into 3 phases. In the first phase, a digital model of a new machine assembly will be constructed. Then, in the second phase, the first series of detailed simulations on HPC infrastructure of the heat influence and dissipation in the new machine will be performed. Finally, in the third phase, the physical machine will be assembled, based on the simulations performed in the previous step. Then, through an iterative process of HPC simulations and machine fine-tuning, the machine will be calibrated and tested. The result that can be obtained with this project allows complete control over the parameters that affect the dimensional stability of 3D printed products.

The aim of the National Competence Centers in the Framework of EuroHPC (EuroCC) project is to establish national HPC competence centers and contribute to the construction of the European HPC ecosystem. This will strengthen existing and develop new competencies in the field of high performance computing (HPC). At the same time, preconditions will be created for synergistic action on policy building, financing and resource management in three areas: HPC, analysis of large data sets on HPC resources (High Performance Data Analytics, HPDA) and artificial intelligence technology (Artificial Intelligence, AI). ). ABOUT THE PROJECT The EuroCC project will bring together the necessary expertise to establish a network of national Competence Centers for High Performance Computing in 33 Member States of the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) to provide users with a portfolio of services tailored to the relevant national needs of industry, academia and the public. administration. The High Performance Computing Competence Centers will be central hubs for coordinating national initiatives, making it easier for national users to access European HPC competencies and opportunities in different industrial sectors and industries. By establishing a network of national centers of competence for HPC, the project will contribute to the construction of the European HPC ecosystem and the implementation of the HPC initiative of the European Commission.

The development of Industrial 3D printing platforms is transforming manufacturing through Cloud-HPC integration, enabling advanced production technologies. The 3D Clothing Production by Additive Manufacturing (3D CPAM) experiment introduces a flexible and fully programmable production process but faces efficiency challenges due to the time required to produce a single item, such as a jacket. To address this, 3D CPAM optimizes the design-to-manufacturing process by combining modern 3D printing with HPC/Cloud services to reduce production time. This approach overcomes size and time constraints, leveraging a Digital Factory Concept for faster, more efficient garment production. The project aims to streamline the supply chain, reducing steps and lowering costs.

TETRAMAX is a Horizon 2020 innovation action and provides an implementation of the European Smart Anything Everywhere (SAE) initiative in the domain of customized and low-energy computing for cyber physical systems and the internet of things. The total budget of the TETRAMAX project is 7M€ and is coordinated by RWTH Aachen University, with 23 partners, covering almost all EU countries. The project partially builds on experiences with the TETRACOM project during 2013-2016. TETRAMAX was launched in Sep 2017 and will run for four years. TETRAMAX and "HeartStep" experiment The first call has already closed some time ago, but the withdrawal of another experiment has made room for ‘HeartStep’ to step in and receive financial support of €42.005. HeartStep is a TTX between Ruđer Bošković Institute / Centre for informatics and computing, a Croatian research institute and SAVING trgovina in storitve d.o.o a company in Slovenia. Together they are working on the improvement of a smart body gadget monitoring the heart, which saves time in the diagnosis of heart patients and is already used in many clinics in Slovenia and the rest of the EU.

EOSC-hub unites multiple service providers into a single Hub, offering European researchers easy access to a wide range of resources for data-driven research. It enhances access to services for scientific discovery and collaboration across disciplines and regions, involving providers from the EGI Federation, EUDAT CDI, INDIGO-DataCloud, and other major European research infrastructures to deliver a unified catalogue of data, services, and software. The project aims to simplify access to a broad range of products, resources, and services through an integrated service catalogue, eliminating fragmentation in service provisioning by ensuring interoperability of compute, storage, data, and software platforms. It seeks to expand e-infrastructure capacity, improve service quality, and widen access to researchers, educators, and businesses, while growing the user base. Additionally, the project will establish a knowledge hub and enhance the innovation potential of research e-infrastructures.
