❤️ Project Spotlight: Heart Language Foundation Model
Using #MeluXina, the project scales generative AI models for arrhythmia detection.
#EPICURE enabled multi-node, NCCL tuning, profiling, and containerised workflows for a faster and more efficient #AI training for healthcare.

Performance alone is no longer enough in #HPC.
Energy efficiency must be measured, and not assumed.
The #EPICURE best practice guide explains why there is no single “greenest” configuration and provides tools to help you identify the most efficient setup for your code.
