New infrastructures in the Czech
Republic - IT4Innovations national
supercomputing center
Martin Palkovič
Examples how does supercomputing help the
industry in Europe
Hospitals in Germany use HPC to avoid last-minute decisions during
childbirth, while analysis of 3D brain imaging through HPC has allowed
much earlier diagnosis of disease.
HPC has enabled car makers to develop new vehicle platforms in 2 years
rather than 5 years, saving the European car industry up to €40 billion.
97 % of the industrial companies that employ HPC consider it indispensable
for their ability to innovate, compete and survive.
