Awesome to see the great stuff that the NEPTUNE ExCALIBUR exascale programme project from UK Atomic Energy Authority are doing leveraging Nektar++ and SYCLstd for fusion simulations on CPUs and GPUs.

After a quick break, we are back to hear about the #ExCALIBUR H&ES novel hardware #testbeds at the ExCALIBUR exascale programme programme workshop

Fortran is the Lingua Franca of scientific computing, Andy Porter from Science and Technology Facilities Council talks about #PSyclone DSL which enables accessible programming of #HPC and used extensively by Met Office Science

Am important part of #ExCALIBUR has been emerging use-cases, Ric Colasanti introduces agent based modelling, with work done in ExAMPLER to bring this to #HPC, enabling a range of new insights

#RSECon24 was an opportunity for the RSE community to meet up, discuss the latest developments in software engineering and share what everyone is doing. #ExCALIBUR was there, involved in the #HPC BoF excalibur.ac.uk/hpcrsersecon24…

Alongside our sold out #CIUK2024 exhibition we also have a full CIUK Research Zone - an area where Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council Tier-2 Centres, and other sites with significant size computing facilities, have the opportunity to join the CIUK exhibition and update attendees on their activities...

We are very much looking forward to Computing Insight UK this year, with an #ExCALIBUR booth, programme breakout sessions and talks by projects it will be a great opportunity to share some of the outcomes of the programme with the wider UK community. excalibur.ac.uk/events/computi…

Tuomas from UCL kicks off #ExCALIBUR sessions at Computing Insight UK giving a tutorial on ReFrame for benchmarking. Significantly reducing barrier to exploring machine performance, provides step change in productivity #CIUK2024

The #ExCALIBUR H&ES breakout at #CIUK2024 begins with a talk by Sadaf Alam from University of Bristol talking about AIRRFED which federates #ai supercomputers and is already in operation

Alastair Basden from Durham University talks about #ExCALIBUR testbeds at #durham and more widely reflections on the programme as a whole

Maurice Jamieson from EPCC talks about AMD Embedded and Cerebras based systems. Exploring why to use these for specific workloads and the programmability challenges

Phil Hasnip from #PAXHPC highlights performance of particle simulations on Grace Hopper and some of the general bottlenecks along with reflections on hardware for these workloads

Into the Friday afternoon of #CIUK2024 but still time to drop by the #ExCALIBUR booth!

Saved the best till last at #CIUK2024 where Alastair Basden talks about the Durham University hardware lab, part funded by #ExCALIBUR

Back in October the #HPC RSE community ran a collaborative BoF at #RSECon . A busy session, with many interesting presentations and discussions, the video has been posted for those who were unable to attend on the day. youtu.be/Fox1zWRqMSA?si…

There is still time to register for the SEAVEA 24-hour hackathon, first session on the 7th of February and then the main event 10th to 11th. More details at excalibur.ac.uk/events/seavea-…

ExaBioSim are organising their end of project workshop on the 14th of March, more details including sign up link at excalibur.ac.uk/projects/exabi…

#HPCDays #Durham kicks off with a range of keynote and scientific talks, a bit week of presentations ahead across a range of topics

A packed room at #HPCDays #Durham where Afia from UK Research and Innovation describes the #DRI programme and highlights the importance of people and research culture

Kick off of three new #DRI projects at #Durham #HPCDays - CAKE for knowledge exchange, ACIT-HUB and SHAREing which are hubs for accelerated compute. Funded by Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and UK Research and Innovation
