IT4Innovations cooperates with the ENET centre, which is part of VSB – Technical University of Ostrava, in the Centre for Energy and Environmental Technologies (CEET) project. The project is supported by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic, which financially supports research and innovation.
Installation of a new petascale supercomputer
In December, the installation of our new petascale supercomputer with the working name EURO_IT4I, has started. The supercomputer will be put into operation during the first half of this year. You can watch the progress of the installation in the photo gallery.
Research supported by the IT4Innovations supercomputers won the Czech Head Award
Jiří Dědeček together with Edyta Tabor and Štěpán Sklenák from J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Czech Academy of sciences found a unique way to turn methane into methanol, for which they received the Czech Head Invention Award. Using the IT4Innovations supercomputers in their research, they computationally predicted results, which they eventually confirmed experimentally. They received 32,458,000 core hours of IT4Innovations computational resources for their research within six Open Access Grant Competitions.
