#CIUK next talk from Hubert Naguszewski (Warwick) on numerical simulation of alloys. A hard problem to do well with Monte Carlo. Compare method with quantum annealing methods in www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

#CIUK day two kicked off with the @whpcanz.bsky.social breakfast, now Jason Nucciarone and Dominic Sloan-Murphy telling us about Ubuntu HPC
Guess who managed to sneak off to the Manchester Christmas Market?
We caught one of those mythical five minute gaps in the rain and made a run for it.

#CIUK kicked off in the main hall first with Paul Walker explaining how to use immersion cooling in data centres and now Crispen Keable (Eviden) telling us how Jupiter HPC was built
Ready, steady, go! 🚀 #CIUK has just started.
Looking forward to seeing many of you there! 👋
Keep an eye out for our SHAREing swag and don’t miss our SHAREing talk on Friday during the 14:00–16:00 breakout session.
Han Zhang is presenting ExaGRyPE at the CoSeC meeting at #CIUK.
Screen projected saying CoSeC with two people at a lectern preparing for a talk.
Getting going in the first session of the 5th CoSeC conference on day zero of #CIUK conference in Manchester ...

I had a great time at #CIUK. My first time at the event. Still processing all the input received!
#CIUK was amazing. My first time attending but I understand it was DOUBLE the crowd from last year. Thanks to all the folks we met with there. What a great opportunity to engage in technical dialogue
Utterly exhausted on a delayed train home after #CIUK heading in to the depths of the South West. Someone sitting opposite with a conference bag. It's like a secret society all melting away until next year.
#CIUK has finished for this year. A great event, it felt like most of the UK community was there, with over 900 attendees! Exciting to exhibit Isambard-AI, Isambard 3 and the Bristol Centre for Supercomputing (BriCS). Huge thanks to all our team for their hard work pulling this together #HPC #AI
Congratulations to all of our students who participated in the #CIUK student cluster challenge. Well done everybody
Thanks to Codeplay for acknowledging the opportunity to test and port their #SYCL compiler to NVidia GH on Durham's machines. #CIUK
I was - for #CIUK yesterday and this am - now having fun with train disruptions to get home.
To reiterate key points from my #WHPC talk at #CIUK: HPC Days 2025 will happen the week pre ISC. Page will be there (very) soon. www.durham.ac.uk/research/ins...
A pleasure to be excitable about #HPC and user experience at the #CoSeC meeting yesterday as a warm up to #CIUK
Had a great day today at #CIUK talking to all the cool research projects, meeting vendors and representing JASMIN on our stand.. As @cjcshadowsan.bsky.social said, it really is like the UK #HPC community Christmas party. 🎄
Looking forward to the evening event later!
The @stackhpc.com Team are at #CIUK. If you would like to get more information on how to self-serve users on your own #HPC and #AI private cloud, we are ready to discuss.
#CIUK panel “we must collaborate with industry more” - @glennklockwood.com’s fav theme - how would collaboration attractive - what is HPC academia’s value proposition to “industry”? Is academia ready for mindset shift to see themselves as needing to sell their value vs always being the buyer?
#CIUK panel - Several assertions that “we (UK) are doing well”, or are competitive internationally, etc.
Curious how “doing well” is defined - what is the metric - and how is it measured / assessed?
Is there a risk of self assessing and only finding / hearing the answer we want?
#CIUK panel - interesting debate about #HPC careers & future talent - along with some implied assumptions about what HPC means (eg to what extent is #RSE 90% of what matters?) - also wonder how open the community might be the thinking very differently about DRI cf historic assumptions
#CIUK - MFG: “users just want it [DRI] to be easy and to work”
Has always been true, perhaps is getting stronger trend, but I wonder if #HPC folks, when pressured to focus/prioritize, often seem to default to “more hardware” and “yeah but cost”, with ease of access / ease of use losing out?
It is great to see #CIUK in full swing. And our Durham cluster challenge team right in the middle.
