Get the first peek at the BalticLSC system

The video for the demo version of the BalticLSC system is out.

Are you interested in complex data processing and would like to use it for your daily activities, yet you lack knowledge, competences and/or resources to fully embrace it? No worries. BalticLSC system is coming out and you can finally witness how it is going to benefit you. Get a glimpse at the demo version of the system by checking this video out.  

Though the system is in a demo version only with further developments being planned throughout the summer, it already shows a lot of promise for young researchers, inventors, start-ups and SMEs to get their data computations done in a fast, cheap and independent manner. It also opens a floor to programmers, app developers and supercomputing power suppliers to contribute to the system creating a BalticLSC network and get some sort of revenue afterwards.

If your company has a vast amount of raw, yet labelled, data that needs to be processed fast and efficient but you lack supercomputing power and even human resources to run major computations, BalticsLSC is under development to help you. Contact any of the consortium partners to rest your case so that we could build our system based on your needs and provide you with the services tailored to your particular situation. All computation services including consultations during the piloting phases of the system will be free of charge.

BalticLSC system is on a verge of being ready for pilot cases

It is not yet ready to be used to its full potential, but the demo version of the BalticLSC system shows a lot of promise.

After months of collaboration, technical partners have finally shown the end result of the BalticLSC system and it does look very solid.

The system has an understandable front-end for users with little technical knowledge and well-sophisticated back-end for those with more technical skill. It can perform various computations in almost no time at all by using any of the application or part of the application already created for the system. It also provides a tool for app developers to produce their own decisions for computations. Furthermore, the system allows for computation power providers to join it and swap their power while not use by themselves.

At the moment, the system is in a demo version only with further developments being planned throughout the summer, however, even in its demo version the system shows a lot of promise for young researchers, inventors, start-ups and SMEs to get their data computations done in a fast, cheap and independent manner. It also opens a floor to programmers, app developers and supercomputing power suppliers to contribute to the system creating a BalticLSC network and get some sort of revenue afterwards.

The testing of the system with the real case studies is planned for September or October this year, where companies can get computation applications tailored to their specific needs and computations themselves done for three with all the step-by-step consultancy provided by the partners. If your company has a vast amount of raw, yet labelled, data that needs to be processed fast and efficient but you lack supercomputing power and even human resources to run major computations, BalticsLSC is under development to help you. Contact any of the consortium partners or fill in the survey to rest your case so that we could build our system (starting with a prototype) based on your needs and provide you with the services tailored to your particular situation. All computation services including consultations during the piloting phases of the system will be free of charge.

In the meantime, a video with the demo version of the system will be produced and disseminated during summer for potential end-users to get a first glimpse at what they would be getting themselves into.

Regular partnership meeting is moving from conference room to online platform

Due to Corona-19 outbreak and limited opportunities for travel, regular BalticLSC partnership meeting will be held online instead of a planned face-to-face interaction.

Every semester BalticLSC consortium members meet in one of the partnership countries for a face-to-face interaction regarding the implementation of the project. During those meetings partners discuss the status of the main project outputs, management and financial issues and the future of the joint endeavour everyone has married into.

However, due to the Corona-19 outbreak and cancelled or limited travel possibilities the meeting for the third semester will be held online. This decision has been unanimously agreed upon by the consortium during the last conference call in the beginning of June.

The forthcoming partners meeting will be dedicated mostly to BalticLSC official demo and Development Road Map as well as development of BalticLSC business model. During the meeting two parallel workshops will be held: one for the business side of the project, whereas the other one will deal with the technicalities of the BalticLSC system. Partners will convene two days in row to finalise the first half of the project before summer holidays.

BalticLSC is on its way

Despite a worldwide outbreak of coronavirus, the development of BalticLSC system continues with the first prototype expected to be ready by June 2020.

With the newly discovered coronavirus spreading all over the world BalticLSC team continues to strive towards finalising the first prototype of the system to be ready to test in the beginning of summer. Members of the technology side of the consortium are working on the project remotely cooperating with each other on a regular basis by using conference calls. The same could be said about the business side of the project with the business plan being drafted and discussed among the partnership.  

In terms of the software development, the coronavirus crisis had very little, if any, effect on the processes. Programmers are working on the best possible solution in accordance with the case scenarios that are available to the project at this time. The first results are expected to be rather rough, but, hopefully, with more businesses coming forward with their computing needs, the system will be gradually improved.

As for the hardware installation, the majority of it has been done prior to the pandemic hitting the continent, while the remaining pieces will be installed as soon as the most rigid restrictions, imposed by the governments to stop the spread of the virus, will be lifted up. In any case, there is no need for a fully developed super computation network during the first trials of the system. This part could be finalised during the forthcoming months.

The biggest issue the coronavirus situation has brought upon the project is the availability of the companies to provide their pilot cases for the system. With some of the companies being on lockdown and others struggling for their survival, the topic of data computation services on a network of supercomputers has been removed from or suspended in their agendas. However, despite this difficult situation, business partners of the consortium continue to work with the companies in developing as many pilot cases as possible while also introducing future BalticLSC services to the potential target audiences.

As the future with the spread of pandemic is still being uncertain, the project continues to work on its outcomes without particular hesitations, waiting for the whole situation to unfold into a world where large scale computing system will be in higher demand than it was prior to the crisis.
