High Performance Computing in Industry: Enroll in the Course on HPC, AI, and Big Data
High Performance Computing (HPC), also known as supercomputing, is now an essential tool for any business aiming to keep up with technological innovation processes: it has already made its way into many industrial sectors, opening up new opportunities for growth and competitiveness.
And it is precisely to supercomputing that EuroCC Italy – the Italian Competence Center for HPC, Artificial Intelligence, and Big Data – dedicates a free course aimed at the industrial world, inviting representatives from companies to engage in an in-depth exploration that will help design paths of innovation and growth within their production processes.The course will take place in person in Bologna on October 5th. Among the instructors are some of the professionals belonging to the EuroCC Italy network.
Here are all the details.
PRESENTATION
High Performance Computing (HPC) is essential for the world of scientific research and for industries aiming to be cutting-edge and competitive in the digital world. HPC is entering many industrial sectors to support product innovation processes, service digitization, and production control. Through the use of supercomputing, it is possible to:
- Speed up designing and prototyping processes by creating a virtual working environment, that leverages the parallelization of computational tasks on high-performance hardware;
- Analyze large amounts of data from the entire value chain;
- Execute complex artificial intelligence algorithms to automate decision-making processes.
The course aims to provide companies with an overview of HPC technologies, their applications, and their impact on the production process.
By the end of the course, participants will not only have a general idea of how these technologies work, but will also be able to identify the HPC and data analytics needs of their company. This will enable them to define an investment strategy that could involve applications, software development, AI methodologies, or even the installation of new hardware.

INSTRUCTORS
Simone Bnà – CINECA
Graduated with honors in nuclear energy engineering from the University of Bologna in 2010. He obtained his PhD from the Department of Energy, Nuclear, and Environmental Control Engineering of the same university in 2014. He is an expert in numerical methods and sparse linear algebra solvers for CFD, FSI, and two-phase flows. At CINECA, he works as a service coordinator, from modeling to scientific visualization, mainly using open-source tools like OpenFOAM, in European research and industrial projects.
Domitilla Brandoni – CINECA
She earned a PhD in mathematics with a thesis on tensor and matrix decompositions for image classification. She is currently working in the HPC Department of CINECA, focusing on the use of HPC technologies in artificial intelligence projects.
Eric Pascolo – CINECA
He completed his Master’s in High Performance Computing at SISSA in Trieste. Subsequently, he worked as an HPC researcher at OGS in the field of predictive oceanography. Currently at CINECA, he holds the position of HPC solution architect and project manager in the field of technology transfer and innovation to industries, particularly SMEs.
