Bede Case Studies

Read case studies from researchers using the Bede supercomputer.






George Leaver

University of Manchester
Bede is N8 CIR's high-performance computing platform. In this case study George Leaver, of Research IT at the University of Manchester, explains his role in supporting researchers to access the system and the capabilities its unique GPU-accelerated architecture adds.


OCF

As High Performance Computing experts, OCF were able to deliver a new supercomputer to cater to several northern universities that met those needs and allowed them to possess the computing power capable of carrying out their research tasks quickly and efficiently.



Paul Richmond

University of Sheffield
Dr Paul Richmond is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Sheffield and is the Director of the Sheffield Research Software Engineering Group.

He is a recipient of an EPSRC Early Career Research Software Engineering Fellowship, the focus of this award is harnessing the power of specialised architectures, such as graphics processing units (GPUs) to accelerate scientific discovery.



Marta Camps Santasmasas

University of Manchester
Dr Marta Camps Santasmasas is a PDRA in the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering at the University of Manchester.

Her research focuses on new ways of modelling urban wind flow using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Highly accurate simulations of sub-regions are run on GPUs and combined with less accurate, CPU-derived models for very large areas of the domain. The result is faster, higher accuracy predictions for key regions of the model.
