architectures for benchmarking state-of-the-art topics in
1. forest ecosystem modeling, simulation, and visualization,
2. underwater robotic mission planning,
3. energy production scheduling for hydro-thermal power

PRACE Council Chair
Subject: Participation of Slovenia in PRACE 2
Dear professor Osseyran,
In March 2016 a consortium Slovenski superračunalniški center (Slovenian High-Performance
Computing Centre - SIHPC) was established with a founding act (Attachment 1) where article 6
claims that the consortium will join PRACE and that University of Ljubljana, Faculty of
mechanical engineering (ULFME) will represent the consortium in the PRACE. The legal
representative of ULFME in the consortium and therefore, also in the PRACE (i.e., the delegate
in PRACE Council with full authorization) is prof. dr. Jožef Duhovnik, as follows from
appointment of the dean of ULFME (Attachment 2).
The consortium has also agreed that it joins PRACE 2 optional programme as contributing GP.
With best regards,
assist. prof. dr. Aleš Zamuda, vice-president of SIHPC

(ML) training and scoring https://daphne-eu.github.io/

Tools
(Third part)
MODA (Monitoring and Operational Data Analytics) tools for
I collecting, analyzing, and visualizing
I rich system and application data, and
I my opinion on how one can make sense of the data for
actionable insights.
I Explained through previous examples:
from a HPC User Perspective.

MODA Actionable Insights, Explained From a HPC User
Perspective, Through the Example of Summarization
Most interesting findings of summarization on HPC example are
I the fitness of the NLP model keeps increasing with prolonging the
dedicated HPC resources (see below) and that
I the fitness improvement correlates with ROUGE evaluation in the
benchmark, i.e. better summaries.

Hence, the use of HPC
significantly contributes
to capability of this NLP
challenge.
However, the MODA insight also provided the
useful task running times and resource usage.

Running the Tasks on HPC: ARC Job Preparation
Parallel summarization tasks on grid through ARC.

Running the Tasks on HPC: ARC Job Submission, Results
Retrieval & Merging [JoCS2020]
Through an HPC
approach and by
parallelization of tasks,
a data-driven
summarization model
optimization yields
improved benchmark
metric results (drawn
using gnuplot merge).
MODA is needed to
run again and
improve upon, to
forecast how to set
required task
running time and
resources
(predicting system
response).

Evaluation
A protective serum NAb titer in the 300 to 1,000 range can be in-
ferred. Since the 1990’s, significant progress has also been made in
developing flexible, amplifiable, scalable, inexpensive, and cold-chain
free RNA vaccines, such as synthetic mRNA molecules encoding only
the antigen of interest and self-amplifying RNA (sa-RNA) (264). Us-
ing the same technology, researchers from Oxford University devel-
oped ChAdOx1, which will eventually produce spike proteins within
the human body, leading to immune system activation. Inovio Phar-
maceuticals, a US-based biotechnology firm, has developed INO-4800,
a DNA-based vaccine, utilizing a relatively newer vaccine technique.
Shenzhen Geno-Immune Medical Institute has generated dendritic
cells (DCs) (LV-SMENP-DC in Phase 1, NCT042276896) and artificial
APCs (aAPCs) modified with a lentiviral vector expressing a synthetic
minigene based on parts of selected viral proteins (pathogen-specific
aAPC, Phase I, NCT04299724. Additionally, timing for optimal ef-
fect, commercial availability, and production scalability of the vaccine
are major issues during a pandemic133. The secondary objective is to
evaluate the immunogenicity measured by ELISA to the SARS-CoV-2
Spike protein following a 2-dose vaccination schedule of mRNA-1273
at Day 57 [165]. Additionally, it is also being evaluated in 2 Phase
3 clinical trials (NCT04456595 and 669/UN6. Two days after chal-
lenge, only one of eight animals in each of the vaccine dose groups had
detectable subgenomic RNA in BAL fluid, as compared with eight of
eight animals in the control group (Figure 3A). Out of these, 73 are
in preclinical stages, and a few of them have moved to clinical trials
like mRNA-1273, Ad5-nCoV, INO-4800, pathogen-specific aAPC, etc .
Evaluation of the mRNA-1273 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 in nonhu-
man primat. Early phase I/II safety and eﬀicacy studies showed that
BNT162 indicated transient mild to moderate local reactions and sys-
temic events that were dose dependent and led to RBD-binding IgG
concentrations and SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing titers in sera that in-
creased with the dose level and after a second dose [102]. Information
about specific SARS- CoV-2 antigen(s) employed for vaccine develop-
ment is publicly limited. The results of the trial are promising as the
mRNA-1273 vaccine elicited an anti-SARS-CoV-2 immune response
in all participants, with no trial-limiting safety concerns [75. Overall,
these data suggest the potential to develop DNA and mRNA vaccines
that are easier to design and can quickly proceed into clinical trials,
which will be helpful for pandemic states such as the one caused by
COVID-19 [77.
