Supercomputing and Artificial Intelligence: Potential for a Better Tomorrow

Tomi Ilijaš, Arctur‘s CEO, delivered a compelling presentation titled “Supercomputing and Artificial Intelligence: Potential for a Better Tomorrow” in Nova Gorica, a town in western Slovenia, on May 30th. The event was open to the public to showcase how state-of-the-art technology can drive research and development across various sectors, with an emphasis on the medical sector, fostering innovation and contributing to social and economic growth.

“We want to engage in medicine to help society beat incurable diseases like cancer. Our beloved colleague died because of cancer, and we are now continuing the mission in his memory to develop new software and knowledge that could save lives and prevent cancer,” said Ilijaš.

As a partner in the QUSTom project, the Arctur team is leading the optimisation of the 3D HPC inversion software. This software will support the analysis of data collected through the innovative 3D ultrasound computed tomography prototype developed by partner KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology). The algorithm will transform data into high-resolution medical images using the power of the MareNostrum5 supercomputer at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, with FrontWave Imaging’s UBIware software, a spin-off company of BSC and Imperial College London, which also sponsors the clinical validation.
