FFplus Call for Business Experiments Is Now Open

FFplus Call for Business Experiments Is Now Open

FFplus is a European initiative, highlighting the adoption of HPC and (generative) AI for SMEs and start-ups across Europe, showing the business benefits and impacts of adopting HPC and AI in real business models. 

The second FFplus Open Call for Business Experiments opened on June 4th and is dedicated to:

Interview with Anthony Bievelez (Skywin Cluster)

EuroCC Belgium meets Skywin
In this interview, Anthony Bievelez from Skywin highlights the strategic importance of HPC for innovation and competitiveness in the Walloon aerospace sector. HPC enables advanced simulations, optimizes R&D workflows, and accelerates the development of new materials and technologies. Through initiatives like WINGS and collaborations with Cenaero, companies leverage HPC to address challenges in aerodynamics, manufacturing, and environmental sustainability. However, barriers such as data security and regulatory constraints still hinder broader adoption. Better awareness and simplified access to local HPC resources could boost uptake across the industry.

Pushing the Limits of Two-Phase Injectors with HPC

The two-phase injector

In the world of advanced cooling and heat transfer systems, two-phase injectors are gaining traction for their ability to efficiently mix vapor and liquid to enhance pressure recovery and energy efficiency. These systems, crucial in aerospace and industrial applications, depict the direct contact between a high-speed vapor jet and a subcooled liquid to induce condensation and improve performance.

Revolutionizing Great Barrier Reef Simulations with GPU Computing on LUMI

The Great Barrier Reef, a natural wonder teeming with biodiversity, faces unprecedented challenges. Innovative solutions are crucial for its preservation. Researchers at UCLouvain have harnessed the power of GPU computing on the LUMI supercomputer to transform ocean modelling and conservation strategies. Prof. Emmanuel Hanert: “For the Great Barrier Reef, we use SLIM to simulate ocean currents and study reef connectivity —the exchange of living material between reefs. By modelling larval transport, we can determine how reefs are interconnected—identifying which reefs provide larvae to others. This insight is vital for conservation efforts, allowing us to prioritise protecting reefs essential for the resilience and regeneration of the entire ecosystem.”

Revolutionizing Neuroimaging Education with Supercomputing and Neurodesk

In this user story prof. Pim Pullens of Ghent University explains how supercomputing infrastructure and other tools are being used to teach students how to analyse imaging data. Prof. Pullens: “As said, my students have no experience working with a supercomputer. However, thanks to using the VSC infrastructure, Open OnDemand and Neurodesk, I can get them to analyse their data within an hour, which shows how user-friendly and efficient this set-up is.” 

Levering whole genome sequencing data to tackle missing heritability in rare eye diseases

Learn how powerful computing supports the use of more advanced genetic testing to improve the diagnosis of rare eye diseases. Mattias Van Heetvelde: “The Tier-2 infrastructure from the VSC allows us the use of significant (temporary) storage and compute resources at no extra cost and ensures our data is handled securely and efficiently. As a safeguard, all patient-derived sequencing data on the VSC infrastructure are pseudonymised, meaning the key to retracing the sequencing data to patient information is not kept on VSC infrastructure.” 

From Models to Mitigation: The Role of HPC in Infectious Diseases Modelling
