Tue 14 April 2015 Following on from the OpenMP training that took place in March, David Henty from the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Center (EPCC) delivered a 3 day intensive course on the MPI parallel programming model and library for NGCM CDT PhD students, other PhD students and staff from Southampton …
The students of the CDT in NGCM have in the last couple of months engaged with Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) Ltd. Over the years numerical modelling has become an ever more important part in R&D of the manufacturing industry, acting as a third pillar in addition to theory and experiments …
Following the training of NGCM PhD students in Threaded Programming on the UK’s supercomputer ARCHER, the students have joined forces with the Computational Modelling Group and plan to embark on an ambitious project: to fully automise high performance computing. The roadmap outlines the basic strategy ahead: given an equation, the …
Representatives from the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Center (EPCC) visited the University of Southampton today to deliver the first of a three day training course in OpenMP parallel programming. Dr Mark Bull presented the theory of multi-threaded and shared memory programming as part of the NGCM Advanced Computational Methods II FEEG6003 …
The University of Southampton’s Science and Engineering Day 2015 attracted several thousand visitors and take part in the activities available, including a joint stand from the EPSRC Doctoral Training Centre in Complex System Simulation and the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Next Generation Computational Modelling. The training centres are …
The first of a series of student led workshops forming part of the NGCM Advanced Computational Methods II module was given today by Paul Chambers and Robert Entwistle from the NGCM Centre for Doctoral Training, covering text editors and customisation of the Sublime Text 2 editor. This event and future …
As part of the workshops delivered through the NGCM Advanced Computational Methods II module, today’s workshop was focussed on an introduction to Version Control, and version control using Mercurial. All the teaching materials are available at http://computationalmodelling.bitbucket.org/tools/mercurial.html, and can be used to work through the material or as a reference. …
Mike Wong from Integration Systems (formerly iSys Capital Technologies) introduced the computational challenges in the financial sector, in particular in trading context. He introduced important characteristics such as latency, lag, and jitter and the relevance associated with each of them for computer systems applied in financial markets. Mike managed to …
Dr David Toal from the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre for Computational Engineering in Southampton recently gave a talk on turbine blade design in the presence of uncertainty and (despite a power outage in most of Southampton that afternoon) presented the associated design and research challenges. Dr Toal introduced the audience …
Dr Andreas Jüttner, from the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Southampton, gave a seminar on computer simulation of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). QCD is the theory governing interactions between quarks and gluons within hadrons, such as protons and neutrons. Dr Jüttner introduced the Standard Model of Particle …
