Schola continues to introduce the winners of the International Academic Cooperation competition. In today's issue, Professor Andrey Vasenko, Deputy Head of the Scientific and Educational Laboratory of Quantum Nanoelectronics at Tikhonov Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics (MIEM), speaks about the joint project between his laboratory and the Peking University research team— ‘Engineering of highly efficient and stable perovskite solar cells.’

HSE researchers have developed an MLOps platform called SmartMLOps. It has been created for artificial intelligence researchers who wish to transform their invention into a fully-fledged service. In the future, the platform may host AI assistants to simplify educational processes, provide medical support, offer consultations, and solve a wide range of other tasks. Creators of AI technologies will be able to obtain a ready-to-use service within just a few hours. Utilising HSE’s supercomputer, the service can be launched in just a few clicks.

Experts in computer technology from HSE University and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) discussed collaboration and joint projects at a meeting held at the Meshcheryakov Laboratory of Information Technologies (MLIT). HSE University was represented by Lev Shchur, Head of the Laboratory for Computational Physics at the HSE Tikhonov Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics (HSE MIEM), as well as Denis Derkach and Fedor Ratnikov from the Laboratory of Methods for Big Data Analysis at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science.

Scientists at HSE University and MIPT have developed a supercomputer-based method to model fluid flows at atomistic scales making it possible to describe the emergence of turbulence. The researchers used the supercomputers cHARISMa and Desmos to compute the flow of a fluid consisting of several hundred million atoms. This method is already being used to simulate the flow of liquid-metal lead coolant in a nuclear reactor. The paper has been published in The International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications.

Since 2019, the cHARISMa supercomputer has been helping staff, teachers and students of HSE university to solve research tasks. In February 2023, it completed its millionth task—a computational experiment dedicated to studying the phenomenon of multiparticle localisation in quasi-one-dimensional quantum systems.

Whether researching how the human brain works, identifying the source of COVID-19, running complex calculations or testing scientific hypotheses, supercomputers can help us solve the most complex tasks. One of the most powerful supercomputers in the CIS is cHARISMa, which is now in its third year of operation at HSE University. Pavel Kostenetskiy, Head of the HSE University Supercomputer Modeling Unit, talks about how the supercomputer works and what kind of projects it works on.
