High Performance Computing for BIO726P Master’s Students

On Thursday October 2, from 2pm to 5pm at Queen building, 83 students from the MSc in Bioinformatics (BIO726P) participated in a hands-on High Performance Computing (HPC) training session at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), using the Apocrita HPC cluster. The session began with an interactive Menti poll to gauge students’ prior knowledge of HPC and Apocrita. Menti provided an anonymous and engaging way to collect responses. We asked seven basic questions, including: “What does HPC mean?”, “What is a cluster at QMUL?”, "Have you ever used an HPC cluster before?", and one of the most thought-provoking:

High Performance Computing for SEMS

On August the 9th, the High Performance Computing for the School of Engineering and Material Science workshop was held at the Sofa Room at Dept. W. Around 16 researchers who already use Apocrita attended the event. The event covered six topics: Linux commands for Apocrita, HPC clusters at QMUL, Launching HPC jobs, Applications for SEMS, Using GPUs, and Miscellaneous.
