International Women’s Day 2021 marks the 10-year anniversary of the Engineering and Physical Science’s ‘Suffrage Science’ Scheme.
Communicating the work of N8 CIR, our researchers and colleagues is a vital part of this project.
Both Durham University and the University of Manchester have vacancies in their research computing teams.
GPU Hackathons have become an increasingly important training and development opportunity for researchers and academics. Participants are able to work with national labs, universities and industry leaders to accelerate their AI research or HPC codes.
From Tuesday 19 January there will be a new application process for Bede, intended to speed up applications and the approval process.
There are currently two vacancies for computing roles at N8 universities. Lancaster University are seeking a research software engineer and Durham University wish to appoint a Senior Research Computing Officer.
Bede, The N8’s new high performance computing platform, is now open for users.
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.
From 27-31 July 2020 the University of Sheffield RSE team, led by Dr Paul Richmond, ran an NVIDIA-sponsored GPU hackathon. In addition to NVIDIA's internal GPU Hackathon cluster the event took the opportunity to be test users of the new N8 Bede system.
We're delighted to welcome Marion Weinzierl who is joining N8 CIR as our new research software engineering theme leader.
Over the last year N8 CIR has delivered a well-received programme of training for both the Digital Humanities and Digital Health research communities.
N8 CIR is pleased to announce the launch of a research data management (RDM) network.
The next meeting of the Turing's discussion group on Humanities and Data Science will be on October 14, at 4pm London time.
The commissioning of N8 CIR’s new HPC system reached a major milestone on 17 August when OCF handed the system over to Advanced Research Computing at Durham University.
NVIDIA's 2020 Graduate Fellowship Programme is open for applications.
Ensuring that researchers have the skills they need to maximise the benefits of high performance and high throughput computing is a significant part of the work of N8 CIR. This new survey will help us to ensure that researchers are able to develop these key skills across the partnership.
N8 CIR have organised as series of six meet-ups. Taking place during May and June they will highlight the range of skills, expertise and activity across the N8 Research Partnership.
The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic is seeing an increasing demand for computing resources. To help address this, UKRI have published a list of computing resources available across the UK.
