Please submit and give me more to review! These are great resources - also for UK colleagues.

We are The Times and The Sunday Times University of the Year 2026 and ranked third overall in its Good University Guide. We are top in the UK for Geography, Classics, and Theology. We are also the UK University of the Year and joint runner-up for Graduate Employment🎉

Also nice: www.palatinate.org.uk/durham-unive...

It is great to work with Nick on this project. I'll also present details on SHAREing on that event.

We are searching for some RSEs with a strong HPC flavour which can help us to realise our ambitious RTP vision: durham.taleo.net/careersectio...

I'm happy that our DRI grants at the Institute for Data Science, ARC and @durham-comp-sci.bsky.social are explicitly mentioned: www.durham.ac.uk/news-events/...

🎉Durham University welcomes the announcement that North East England will become an AI Growth Zone. This is a major boost for innovation, jobs, and retaining our brilliant graduates 👉 brnw.ch/21wVQlU #DurhamUniversity #AIGrowth

If you are interested in an overview of all the Digital Research Infrastructure projects in the UK: The CAKE project has started to collect this landscape information in one place (www.cake.ac.uk).

Great talk from Marion Weinzierl (Let's stop pretending to be unicorns!) about better management of expectations of RSEs In case you wondered where the RSE unicorn came from there is the quote from Cristin who designed the logo. #rsecon25 #unicorns

Thomas Flynn from Durham's ARC has presents our DRI projects HAI-End and SHAREing at #RSECon25. Thanks for all feedback and follow-up questions and thanks @society-rse.org for a brilliant event. More soon on shareing-dri.github.io

I'm very happy to join TOMS as Associate Editor: dl.acm.org/journal/toms... It has always been one of my favourite journals in the field.

We are excited to be part of the new £1.6m Computational Abilities Knowledge Exchange (CAKE) NetworkPlus – connecting experts, sharing skills, and boosting the UK’s global digital research profile. Learn more: durham.ac.uk/news-events/...

The application portal for the CIUK Student Cluster Competition is open: web.cvent.com/event/3c7742...

Find the activity report (with pics) of the Numerical Relativity meeting at Gregynog at www.uknumericalrelativity.org That was a brilliant event!

We have created some very basic HPC revision material shareing-dri.github.io/training/hpc... comprising videos and quizzes on topics that we assume to be common knowledge when we assess codes (but then learned that this is not known to everybody attending our courses). Feedback welcome ...

Our CPE paper is now published: dx.doi.org/10.1002/cpe.... Only possible due to support from ExCALIBUR, Intel's CoE and the DRI programme.

We are leading a new £3.8m skills hub, part of the compute roadmap, to help researchers supercharge science with faster, smarter computing. SHAREing hub will boost skills, innovation & collaboration across the UK. Learn more: durham.ac.uk/news-events/...

Great write-up from one of our @cake-dri.bsky.social CoLs.

Good start into the week: Our paper on "Annotation-guided AoS-to-SoA conversions and GPU offloading with data views in C++" has been accepted at CPE: arxiv.org/pdf/2502.16517

Great to see our knowledge exchange project (cake-dri.github.io) being represented properly at meetings. Thanks to Eleanor Broadway @epcc.bsky.social

Not to be shared yet (and therefore I put it on social media ;-): As of next autumn, we will start recruiting for a new MSc on AI Infrastructure Platforms. This aligns perfectly with our recent successes and investments into upskilling around Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI).

It is great to be at Gregynog to learn more about gravitational waves. Excellent introductory talk by Bernard F. Schutz pointing out how computer hardware technology changed the discipline. We need the same appreciation for software now. sites.google.com/view/nrgregy...

It's always great to spot your code in a talk: ExaHyPE's ExaSeis featured in one of the #ISC25 workshops.

Interesting report on data centres in the North East. The underlying discussions at @durham-university.bsky.social business school have been very interesting: dynamonortheast.co.uk/insights/nor...

Cristin's @alcesflight.bsky.social wrap-up of the #DurhamHPCDays is worth reading: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... Thanks for contributing to our event!

Here we go. Looking forward to a great show #ISC25

Hopping off to #ISC25. The connecting the dots paper preface (as well as all research papers) are online to prep for the show: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/110...

Four of the brave ones

We wrapped up the #DurhamHPCDays with a great hike along Hadrian's Wall. And some didn't mind the weather and carried on for a full day.

Finally a eCSE talk from my very own group ;-) Timothy Stokes presents our DSL work around ExaGRyPE.

TACC Highlights How Public HPC Investment Paved the Way for AI Boom ow.ly/184Y50W587w #TACC #HPC #HPCwire

Excellent kick off of Day 5 of the #DurhamHPCDays by Katy Clough highlighting why we need numerical relativity simulations, should leverage GPUs and have to watch more Star Trek.

Earlier today, the session featuring Archer 2 eCSE projects was almost overcrowded. Very interesting lessons learned and experiences shared.

Great keynote by Thomas Gruber from @rrze.de discussing what proper benchmarking should but often does not look like. #DurhamHPCDays

A packed room at #HPCDays #Durham where Afia from @ukri.org describes the #DRI programme and highlights the importance of people and research culture

We are now in Day 4 of the #DurhamHPCDays and still going strong. Philipp Neumann from Desy and @Uni-hamburg.de kicked off with a talk on molecular dynamics before we break out into sessions on high energy physics and the eCSE programme.

We kick off day 2 of the #DurhamHPCDays with a tutorial by AMD, a session on biocomputing and the Lustre User Group meeting.

We kick off #DurhamHPCDays today with a tutorial on FTorch by @rcscambridge.bsky.social

Indeed worth reading ...

I'm very happy that our Knowledge Exchange project #CAKE had been presenting first ideas and work at the workshop. I'm jealous I haven't been up there in person close to the historic bridge.

Our Student Cluster Competition team has become a section/division of CompSoc, the Durham University Computing Society. This means all of our cluster competition work will remain purely student-led - which is great! I'm looking forward to see the team migrate their web content to compsoc.tech.

For those who missed the registration for the Durham HPC Days: There is the opportunity to follow some of the sessions via live stream as long as you register on www.canva.com/design/DAGoF...

Really proud to announce that our group became the 17th member of VI-HPS: www.vi-hps.org This aligns nicely with our initiatives around HPC training, but also our research around tasking with Otter, as enabled through the #ExCALIBUR programme.

Vespertec is our sponsor of the day for the Durham HPC Days. Please note that we have only one more day to register. After that, registration will be closed. Stay tuned for more updates: www.durham.ac.uk/research/ins...

While colleagues from #Intel visit us for the HAI-End performance analysis workshop, our Battlemage GPUs drop in. We'll make them available to the compute community soon through our testbeds: durham.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ha...

Very happy to learn that our friends from #Intel had been invited to the Chancellor's Circle Annual Dinner 2025 due to their support of Durham's OneAPI Centre of Academic Excellence: www.durham.ac.uk/alumni/news-...

If you intend to come to Durham for the HPC Days, please do register. Registration closes 21 May: www.durham.ac.uk/research/ins... And then, our sponsor of the day: #OCF has provided some of our systems at Durham, so we are happy to have them back as vendor participant.

We are very proud to host a SYCL and an AMD GPU programming tutorial at the HPC Days. Don't miss the Monday though with more AI/ML-focused sessions: There is a tutorial on SmartSim and there is a tutorial on FTorch: durham.readthedocs.io/en/latest/hp...

Our sponsor of the day is VAST. VAST have supported us massively last year, and it is great to have them back at the HPC Days this year. There will be an industry session on Wednesday evening, so you can chat with them: durham.readthedocs.io/en/latest/hp...

Please note that we have a series of interesting tutorials for the HPC Days: durham.readthedocs.io/en/latest/hp... They cover a vast range. Further to that, first information on our social are now online. There's more details to come ...
