Professor at EPCC, the supercomputing centre at the University of Edinburgh
Was great to visit @ncar-cisl.bsky.social last week in Boulder and Cheyenne, we have a centre to centre collaboration via the #EPSRC #CONTINENTS project and they have some really impressive facilities and work. Great discussions ahead of then travelling to St. Louis for #SC25 this week

Steve Dean from HPE kicking off the “Sustainable Supercomputing” workshop at #SC25 - the room is pretty packed already, but there are a few more seats in room 264 if you want to join. Lots of interesting presentations still to come!

It's a busy time at EPCC as we prepare for the first ever total power down of the Advanced Computing Facility. EPCC's Director of HPC Systems explains why we are taking this essential action, which will include the pausing of all our HPC services for the duration of the outage. edin.ac/4lPKTGq

With 200 Petabytes of data, stretching back more than 1M light years, and capturing 37 Bn objects, it's going to be a busy time for @lsstuk.bsky.social and @epcc.bsky.social . My favourite image, so far, is this one of the Trifid and Lagoon nebulae, formed from 678 individual images! #supercomputing

I've really enjoyed #PASC25 this week in Brugg, where there have been many insightful talks. The highlight for me was our mini-symposium on moving to more sustainable #HPC (as part of #CONTINENTS) and I spoke to Maria from
@cscsch.bsky.social about the session youtu.be/-PGgfDSEWUs?...
Weronika from @epcc.bsky.social talks in the sustainable training mini symposium at #PASC25 about some of the activities going on in @epcc.bsky.social , and specifically #UNIVERSE_HPC
