It is a great honour that six results from the EU Horizon 2020-funded Centre of Excellence for Research on AI- and Simulation-Based Engineering at Exascale (RAISE) result from University of Iceland were recognised by the EU as a 'key innovator' on the EU Innovation Radar website.

An example is LAMEC (Load AI Modules, Environments and Containers) that generates High-Performance Computing (HPC) job scripts. While job scripts are not rocket science, they are different for each HPC system and, in particular for newcomers, cumbersome to create. Therefore, LAMEC eases this with a few mouse-clicks using a web UI.

Another example is Scalable Hyperparameter Tuning to Accelerate AI Training in Reseach and Industry that directly relates to our PhD research Parallel and Scalable Hyperparameter Optimization for Distributed Deep Learning Methods on High-Performance Computing Systems

In fact, University of Iceland was involved in CoE RAISE and contributed to all of following results that are listed as innovations:
