SRCE participated as a satellite location in the organisation of the international Gray Scott School 2026 and provided additional support to participants by enabling the use of a Jupyter environment prepared on the “Vrančić” cloud computing resource.
At the beginning of July 2026, SRCE, as the coordinator of the Croatian Competence Centre for HPC (HR HPC CC), participated as a satellite location in the organisation of the international Gray Scott School 2026. The school was organised for users of high-performance computing (HPC), and participants could either attend the entire two-week programme or choose individual lectures according to their interests.
This year, Gray Scott School 2026 brought together more than 900 participants at 20 satellite locations across 12 countries, confirming its status as one of the largest international educational programmes in the field of high-performance computing (HPC).
Throughout the school, lectures covered numerous topics important for the development and optimisation of HPC applications, including CPU and GPU architecture, modern programming in C++, Python and Fortran, the use of CUDA and Kokkos technologies, performance profiling and optimisation, memory management, parallel programming, and the application of modern development tools for scientific computing.
Thirty participants, mainly from the academic community, registered to attend the summer school at SRCE’s satellite location through the Croatian Competence Centre for HPC (HR HPC CC).
As additional support for participants, SRCE prepared a Jupyter environment on the “Vrančić” cloud computing resource for practical work during the school. Although the use of the Jupyter environment was not mandatory, it enabled participants to complete practical tasks more easily and experiment with examples presented during the lectures. Nine registered participants used the Jupyter environment, accumulating a total of 128.37 hours of use.
As part of the school programme, SRCE experts also delivered an online presentation on advanced computing at SRCE, during which they presented the infrastructure and services available to users through the Croatian Competence Centre for HPC (HR HPC CC).
By participating in the organisation of this international school, SRCE, as the coordinator of the Croatian Competence Centre for HPC, continued to support the development of the Croatian HPC community and to provide researchers, students and professionals with access to modern knowledge, tools and technologies in the field of high-performance computing.
