In this second workshop, Ludo Enault will discuss and advise on Bede's data science tools.

The CUDA computing platform enables the acceleration of CPU-only applications to run on the world’s fastest massively parallel GPUs.

This session will offer a broad introduction to Bede and its system and architecture.

This introductory event offers those who are new to HPC the opportunity to learn more about Bede’s hardware and software, as well as the support that is available to users, regardless of their experience of HPC.

Performance analysis is at the core of the development of exascale software – to understand why software performs (or not) is the basis of any informed improvement of that same code.

This course has been developed by Martin Callaghan at the University of Leeds with the intention of helping to provide useful skills to the RSE team who will be supporting Bede.

This workshop is now fully booked.

Join us to celebrate the N8 RDM Network launch at our virtual kickstart event on November 25th 10-11:30 am, which will feature a series of short talks followed by a panel discussion.
