Prof. Dirk Valkenborg is the Programme director of the data science trajectory in the Master of Statistics & Data Science at UHasselt. He teaches a course on Machine Learning in this programme, and during this course, his students use the supercomputing infrastructure of The Flemish Computer Center. We sat down with Prof. Valkenborg to ask him why he is so keen on getting his students enthusiastic about working with a supercomputer.

MPI heavyweight Dr Rolf Rabenseifner has recently retired. However, we could catch the former Head of Parallel Computing, Training and Application Services at the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS), University of Stuttgart, for an extensive talk.

LUMI is the fastest supercomputer in Europe and the fifth fastest globally (the Top500 list published in November 2023). LUMI is also the seventh greenest supercomputer on the planet (the Green500 list published in November 2023). 

The LUMI data center was also recognized in the 2023 Data Centre World Awards for the Green Data Centre of the Year in March 2023.
