Students of computing and informatics visited IZUM in Maribor for a presentation of the VEGA supercomputer. The Institute of Information Science (IZUM) is a public institute founded by the Government of Slovenia as an information service for Slovenian science, culture and education, ensuring Slovenia's participation in global digitalisation.
IZUM's activity is mainly tied to the development and operation of the COBISS system and services, the foundation of the library information system of Slovenia and of several other countries connected in the COBISS.net network.
The VEGA supercomputer was procured as the primary system of the HPC RIVR project for upgrading Slovenian national research infrastructure and delivered as one of the first systems of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking. It increased computing power in Slovenia and the EU and supports researchers and users in the public and private sectors as a driver of innovation in strategic areas such as artificial intelligence, high-performance data analytics, personalised medicine, bioengineering, climate change and the development of drugs and new materials.
