HPC use cases
See how other organisations use ACA and European supercomputers to speed up simulations, process larger datasets and de‑risk new products.
Storage for eternity
Storing data cost-effectively and sustainably over long periods is one of the great challenges of our time. The start-up Cerabyte has developed a new technology, relying on an ancient medium: ceramic tablets. EuroCC Austria is supporting the team in bringing its system to market as a sustainable alternative to hard drives.
Full data control: Local AI tool for audio transcription
Some types of research data, such as interview recordings, are too sensitive for public clouds but still need to be processed with state‑of‑the‑art AI. By running an AI-based transcription tool on the LEO5 high-performance computing system, the University of Innsbruck achieves fast, scalable speech-to-text processing and data sovereignty.
The AI that knows when shadows arrive
Renewable energy is only as good as the conditions it operates under, and operators of photovoltaic systems want to ensure their installations are located where renewable energy can be generated most efficiently. Knowing where and when shadows will occur makes planning much easier. With CloudShadingAI, such a planning tool is now available.
AI reshapes TU Wien's research matrix
Research requires careful planning, and TU Wien is taking this to the next level. By the end of 2026, the university will adopt a data-driven research strategy, with AI consultant Thomas Haschka and his team using knowledge graphs and LLMs to analyse past research output and inform future strategic decisions.
How a start-up is rethinking the nuclear industry
The Italian start-up CAELUS has trained the world’s first AI model designed to handle administrative and regulatory tasks, freeing up engineers and technicians to focus on their core responsibilities.
Breast Cancer and AI - Part 2: better image quality as the key to faster diagnosis | Use Case Salataris
Radiologists rely on MRI and mammography to detect breast cancer, but even these tools can be more accurate. This follow‑up article looks in detail at how Salataris AI is improving image quality with AI.
Vienna-based start-up develops new AI tool for music production
Beat Shaper has trained a text‑to‑music AI model that supports musicians in songwriting and sound design by generating beats, melodies, basslines, as well as synthesiser and effects settings from simple text prompts.
Less CO₂ in shipping with revolutionary AI model
The Greek company AlongWave has, along with ACA, developed an AI model for the Mediterranean Sea that outperforms traditional weather forecasting tools and helps protect both budget and the planet.
Breast cancer and AI - Part 1: deep learning could enable earlier diagnosis | Use Case Salataris
With support from ACA, Austrian start-up Salataris AI is developing a deep learning model that supports medical experts in identifying tumours at an early stage. This could lead to earlier detection and less false positives.
How AI is Learning to Predict Cell Behaviour
Vienna-based biotech company Myllia wants to speed up the discovery of new medicines and to uncover how diseases like Alzheimer’s or cancer develop. On the EuroHPC supercomputer Leonardo they trained an AI model that could transform biological research.
