On June 11th, 2025, EuroCC Italy will host a hands-on training session focused on Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning in HPC environments. The course is designed for professionals and researchers with a technical-scientific background and will take place at Kilometro Rosso Innovation District in Bergamo, one of Italy’s key innovation hubs. The training will be delivered by experienced specialists from CINECA and the BI-REX Competence Center.
Why a course on AI and HPC?
The growing adoption of Deep Learning (DL) is tightly connected to the increasing size of datasets and the need for high computational power. In this context, High Performance Computing (HPC) has become an essential enabler for scaling complex models like Large Language Models (LLMs) and powering real-time applications in fields such as Digital Twin technologies and industrial automation.
This course by EuroCC Italy offers a foundational and practical introduction to Deep Learning and how to deploy models on HPC systems.
