HPC for European SMEs
Dr. Guy Lonsdale, CEO of scapos, joins EXCELLERAT P2’s Sophia Honisch to discuss the progress of the FFplus project—one year after its launch. With over 25 years of experience in high-performance computing (HPC) and a leading role in multiple EU initiatives, Guy offers deep insights into how FFplus is supporting SMEs in adopting HPC and AI technologies across Europe.They explore key topics such as the cascade funding mechanism, real-world success stories from SMEs, the emerging role of AI Factories, and how National Competence Centres (NCCs) are contributing to Europe's innovation ecosystem. Guy also shares his outlook on the next decade of HPC and AI in industrial applications.Interview and editing: Sophia Honisch, Matvey Fridman, HLRS——————This episode was produced by EXCELLERAT, the European Centre of Excellence for Engineering Applications.

New episode every two weeks!
In this podcast we talk about all things supercomputers.
- What are supercomputers used for and why are they crucial for research and development?
- What new technologies are there on the horizon?
- What’s the connection between AI and supercomputing?
In our episodes we are interviewing guests from all around Europe who are going to talk about their work and hopefully clear misconceptions in multiple fields such as life science, machine learning, engineering, data science, quantum computing and more.
