We are looking forward to this year's Symposium on HPC which is taking place this Thursday, 4th June, it is promising to be another packed schedule of talks and posters and over 50 delegates attending.

This years keynote talk will be delivered by Mark Chapman, Chief Engineer from the Bloodhound SSC project, he will give an overview of the project to drive a car at 1,000mph and how HPC is enabling them to do so. The programme also includes 10 varied talks and 5 posters from across the university from an introduction to quantum chemistry calculations on the new HPC to applications in nuclear fuel, improving the scheduling of ambulance crews to statistical approaches in reconstructing the historical temperature record. There are also talks introducing new methodologies for solving partial differential equations and turbulence in flow as well as a talk from Allinea to explain how their software can help to debug and optimise code more efficiently on the different resources now available.

Times and schedule

Registration will open at 9:30h in the Chancellors' Building just outside CB2.6 and the welcome address by Prof David Bird, Chair of the HPC Advisory Group and Dean of the Faculty of Science, is scheduled to start at 10.00h.
