SUMMARY:Webinar #1 - MINERVA Services
DESCRIPTION:This webinar\, after a short introduction from the project coordinator CINECA\, will showcase the core services offered by the MINERVA European Support Center\, with a focus on how AI researchers and developers can benefit from the support provided under Work Package 2 (WP2 – MINERVA Services) and Work Package 3 (WP3 – Technical Support to Service Delivery). \n\n\n\nMINERVA Services are designed to deliver user-facing AI benefits\, helping users port\, adapt\, scale\, and optimize large-scale AI workflows—especially those involving open foundation models—on cutting-edge supercomputing resources. \n\n\n\nMINERVA Technical Support team develops the technical infrastructure that powers services. This includes provisioning tools\, performance benchmarking\, and best practice guidelines. It also manages the unified ticketing system that connects users to the right support across the MINERVA network and its European partners. \n\n\n\nAgenda Overview: \n\n\n\n\nWelcome and project introduction\n\n\n\nOverview of MINERVA services\n\n\n\nHow to contact MINERVA and request support\n\n\n\nAdditional activities: benchmarking\, best practices\n\n\n\nQ&A session\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecordings\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaterials\n\n\n\nMINERVA_webinar_1Download

SUMMARY:HPC for AI Research - ICIAP 2025
DESCRIPTION:This tutorial focuses on the computational aspects of training and deploying large-scale AI models using high-performance computing (HPC). Topics include distributed training\, multi-GPU and multi-node acceleration\, mixed-precision optimization\, efficient data handling\, and resource management on supercomputing clusters. Special attention is given to transformer-based architectures\, self- and semi-supervised learning\, and energy-efficient AI practices. Participants will gain both theoretical insights and hands-on experience with frameworks such as PyTorch and DeepSpeed\, learning best practices for scalable and sustainable AI research on HPC infrastructures.
