IT Research Newsletters for The University of Manchester

August 4th, 2014 | Categories: HPC, Scientific Software, walking randomly | Tags:

I work at The University of Manchester as part of IT Service’s Research Support department. This month, I was given the task of editing the newsletter that we send out to the academics we serve.

For me, this month’s highlights include the fact that our Condor Pool (which I help build and run) has now delivered over 20 million CPU hours to academics at Manchester by making use of desktop PCs around campus. Another HPC system we have at Manchester is our Computational Shared Facility which is jointly funded by the University and all of the research groups who use it. This system has just seen the installation of its 6000-th CPU core.

Other news includes the Greater Manchester Data Dive, an AGM for Research Software Engineers, Image based modelling and more.
