In the comparison of universities published by Týden magazine, Faculty of Information Technology ranked third (behind Faculty of Chemical Technology of UCT Prague and Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of CTU) in the category Technical sciences.

The comparison considered criteria such as interest in studies, quality of teaching and scientific personnel and SIR points that the faculty receives for specialised publications, articles, major grants and other scientific activities. "By publishing our own comparison, we do not mean to replace the national regulatory authorities. However, we would like to make the choice of university easier. Besides, our current students will certainly appreciate the information on the quality of their university. By publishing the comparisons of individual categories we would also like to appreciate universities that we consider true centres of education as we imagine the higher education institutions should be," says Daniel Koppl, Executive Director of Empresa Media, the publisher of TÝDEN magazine.

DevConf 2020 - the biggest event for developers, administrators, and users of Linux and open source in Central Europe - is once again going to take place in co-operation with the Faculty of Information Technology at the FIT campus. Over 1500 participants and 300 speakers from all over the word are expected to participate in the 12th year of the conference which will take place from 24 to 26 January. This year, the conference will tackle a variety of topics ranging from the development of cloud applications to machine learning, artificial intelligence and infrastructure administration tools. Workshops on application development and other advanced topics in the area of source development will also be available. Find the full agenda of the conference HERE. A record of the main presentations will be published after the event.

More than 13,000 participants attended SC'19 - the top supercomputing technologies conference in Denver, USA. FIT would not miss this and so the SC@FIT research group attended the event and presented three research posters: one on adaptation and optimisation of distributed ultrasound simulations for the Nvidia DGX-2 server - the most powerful GPU-based machine in Central and Eastern Europe; one presenting the results of a PhD thesis on acceleration of ultrasound simulations using heterogeneous architectures; and one on automated planning, execution and monitoring of large-scale simulation workflow systems consisting of hundreds of individual tasks of various levels of computational complexity.
