The Eindhovens Dagblad reported on the NVIDIA GTC Viewing Party at TU/e, where more than 300 people gathered in the Blauwe Zaal to watch Jensen Huang's keynote. In the article, Richard Zoontjens, lead of the TU/e Supercomputing Center, and Fons van der Sommen explain what TU/e's AI supercomputer means for research and for the region.

On Monday 26 October, TU/e hosts the NVIDIA GTC Viewing Party in the Blauwe Zaal: a condensed recap of Jensen Huang's GTC Berlin keynote, talks on AI in research and industry, and an afternoon of networking with AI professionals from the Netherlands and Belgium. Admission is free; registration is required.

Richard Zoontjens, lead of the TU/e Supercomputing Center, is one of the speakers: If you don't compute, you don't compete.

The European Environment for Scientific Software Installations (EESSI) is now available on the TU/e Umbrella HPC Cluster, giving all users access to a large, shared collection of optimized scientific software.

Supercomputing at the Autumn HPC School! This 2-week program is perfect for students and researchers keen to explore the world of AI, quantum computing, and high-performance computing. Join us for our excellent keynotes and workshops and unlock the power of HPC.

Registration for this edition is closed. For the latest information, always check hpc-training.nl, and see quantumeindhoven.nl for the dedicated Eindhoven Quantum Computing Workshop embedded within the school.

This HPC School is made possible through the collaboration between the TU/e Supercomputing Center, SURF, & EuroCC Netherlands.

TU/e Supercomputing Center (SCC) and EAISI now host sovereign LLMs on Spike-1 — an NVIDIA DGX B200 system owned by TU/e — and open access to all TU/e researchers over an internal API, no vendor in between.

The TU/e Umbrella HPC Cluster will be undergoing scheduled maintenance, from: Monday 24 August 2026, 09:00 CET to Friday 28 August 2026, 17:00 CET.

The entire cluster will be offline during this period. Please make sure your jobs finish before the maintenance starts, or that they can safely be interrupted and rerun.

Across Dutch and European academia, multiple initiatives are currently underway to host, operate, and govern LLMs locally, driven by concerns around data sovereignty, sustainability, cost, transparency, and responsible use. This 4TU.NIRICT-funded workshop brings together currently siloed academic hosting initiatives across Dutch institutions (eg, Delft, TU/e, VU, WUR, SURF) to foster knowledge exchange, technical alignment, and collaboration around LLM inference infrastructure.
