A transatlantic demonstration that presented multiple QPU+CPU+GPU hybrid quantum-classical computation integration and use cases was one of the SC24 highlights. The connection between Poznań (PSNC) and Atlanta (SC24) was the very first of such kind, marking another important step in the field of quantum computing.

PSNC’s data storage system for the Proxima HPC cluster opens the top 10 of this year’s prestigious IO500 list. The list annually presents the fastest and most reliable systems of such kind designed for HPC and data centers. The top 10 entry on the current IO500 confirms that PSNC knows quite well how to address the requirements of users who rely on AI and HPC services, as well as cloud computing.

Two of PSNC’s supermachines can be found in the new TOP500 announced during the SC24 in Atlanta. The prestigious list has been published since 1993, enumerating the greatest supercomputers in the world on a yearly basis. To find Proxima and Altair in the TOP500 is a great pride and joy for the Poznań Center.

More than 40 000 viewers watched 23 surgeries during this year’s 9th edition of the European Laryngological Surgery Live Session. The high quality stream was possible thanks to the PIONIER Network, operated by PSNC.

New Tech Order Convent (Konwent Rozwoju) is a perfect occasion to exchange thoughts and ideas with specialists representing a variety of industries. During the most recent edition of this event PSNC was represented by Tomasz Pecyna, who presented quantum computing and quantum communication as the future of technology.

That question is addressed by the creators of the GenAI project. They aim at the development of digital skills among people who belong to the so-called generation Z. PSNC is the coordinator of the international consortium which realizes the project.

Almost 30 young enthusiasts of both climate and modern technologies had 24 hours to find out how to save the planet. Divided into teams, they competed to come up with the best solution. It was a part of the Planet-On quantum & AI hackathon for a greener future, which took place in the PSNC Future Labs on the last weekend of November.
