摘要

High-performance computing (HPC) plays a significant role in accelerating digital transformation and industry competitiveness, enabling high-speed data processing and complex simulations through supercomputers, while cloud services make HPC infrastructure affordable and accessible to SMEs. This research examines the potential for cloud HPC adoption in Montenegro, focusing on SME and IT companies as key drivers of digital innovations. Using the HPC4SME Automated Assessment Tool, a multi-criteria decision-making model, and SPSS statistical analyses, the study evaluates company readiness, cloud potential, and HPC performance. Findings indicate that companies are ready for HPC adoption driven by positive business outlook, increasing demand for HPC expertise, high cloud potential, and encouraging development in HPC critical simulations, especially in the IT sector. However, the study’s limitations, including a relatively small market sample, highlight the need for further research into sector-specific trends and structural barriers while emphasising practical drivers and policy insights to advance HPC adoption among SMEs.
