We’re excited to share vHPC.

A fully containerised, Slurm-based High Performance Computing environment designed for teaching, development, and testing.

We strongly believe that HPC concepts should be accessible to everyone nowadays.

It is not the same but I think it could work as a virtual replica.

I will make a digital twin of the mini rack, to monitor the temperature and power consumption of each individual Raspberry.

Imagine then to connect this mini-rack with an esp32 which monitors the sensors and you have an agent on it. You can chat with it, you can activate/deactivate gpios directly from the chat.

If you are into FPGA and computer vision you should check out this project on hackster.

It demonstrates how it is possible to develop and integrate a LIDAR sensor into a FPGA.

Curling stone tracking v1 Olympic Games edition.

How I made this first version:
- YOLO for real-time stone detection
- ByteTrack (Supervision) for consistent object tracking
- SciPy for trajectory smoothing
- OpenCV + NumPy for annotation, velocity, direction and acceleration visualization

The colors indicate whether the stone is :
accelerating → green
stable → orange
decelerating → red

MicroCAD in the browser is becoming real.

I'm building a web-based μCAD editor where code is the model:
- Write parametric geometry, compile, and instantly preview.
- Export STL with no dependencies.
- No heavyweight CAD.
- An LLM chat to generate μCAD from text (still experimental).

Still experimental but powerful by design. The best part is that it's live. I added login because the host can't handle many parallel CAD-to-STL conversions.

What if programming in Python was like building with Lego?

Instead of writing lines of code, you snap together blocks:
- a function is a brick
- inputs are studs
- outputs are connectors

You don’t fight syntax. You build systems.

Making 3D models will be so easy in the future.

[Marco Franzon @mfranz_on]

This is MicroCAD. The programming language for your 3D projects.

You can design your own Lego block in a few lines of code, ready to be exported as an STL file for 3D printing.

Who said that physics is boring?

We are building the future of physical simulations and we are making it funny.

You will be able to experience the simulation in first person with the VR headset.

[Marco Franzon @mfranz_on]

Explore the data center digital twin with a VR headset.

- Move the racks
- See the airflow change
- Make a digital twin cool like a VR videogame

We are making CFD funny as a game.

I will clean up woods and forests with Python:

> Automatically label images with GroundingDINO.
> Use the dataset to train a YOLO model.
> Recognize litter in forests.

I just need a drone with a harvesting tool to make forests great again.

[Marco Franzon @mfranz_on]

The GitHub repository with a template to reproduce this and many more image recognition tasks is public.

I made it as simple as possible so everybody can play with it . If you run out of ideas, I also leave a list of cool Kaggle datasets to play with.

🔥We are hackathoning!

#MNHACK25: 7th MareNostrum Hackathon

Researchers from 11 institutions works on a total of nine projects focusing on optimization, #GPU acceleration, performance analysis, and dynamic resource management in #HPC.

💻This edition introduces two specialized non-simultaneous tracks, allowing participants to choose the environment that best suits their goals: #MN5 - @risc_v

Adr.ia is the digital gem of the North Adriatic: a virtual copy of the sea and coast.

It is a tool for citizens, scientists, and businesses, useful for understanding and managing marine resources.

[eXact lab @eXactLab]

If you are interested in knowing more about it the DMs are open or check out our website in bio.

Adr.ia was possible thanks to a partnership with PLUS (https://t.co/Y65JjTFj69) with the collaboration of @OGS_IT

A ship has just had an accident at sea! To understand the impact of the spill, you need to set the simulation parameters.

When did it happen? How large is the pollutant release? How precise does the simulation need to be? And above all, where did it happen?

[eXact lab @eXactLab]

Adr.IA observes the sea and sky conditions on the chosen day how much the wind blows and how the currents flow and, using this data, can predict how the pollutant will move and transform over time.
