Debugging in 5D

Or why debugging is hard and parallel debugging doubly so
Debugging programs is hard. I give a lecture on debugging for the Programming Skills module of EPCC's MScs in HPC and HPC with Data Science where we try to point out common programming mistakes, programming strategies for making bugs less likely, and the skills and tools required for investigating, identifying, and fixing bugs.
Doing Super Science with Supercomputers - EPCC at Big Bang Fair 2016
Author: Mirren WhitePosted: 19 Feb 2016 | 09:49
Next month, a group of EPCC staff members will be travelling to Birmingham to take part in The Big Bang Fair 2016, a national science festival for school children. The event takes place over four days and will reportedly attract in excess of 70,000 visitors, so this is a great opportunity to showcase ARCHER, EPCC and all of the work we do here.
Making the most of ARCHER for Materials Chemistry

In early December we added a visualisation of the most heavily used application codes to the ARCHER website. At the moment it only shows data for the current month, but we've been recording the data since the ARCHER service began back in 2013 (table below).
The Collaborations Workshop 2016 Returns to Edinburgh
Author: Mario AntoniolettiPosted: 12 Feb 2016 | 12:11
The Collaborations Workshop (CW) is coming home to Edinburgh. It will be held on 21st-22nd March in the Royal College of Surgeons with an optional hack day on 23rd of March. The series of CWs were originally started under the now defunct Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute UK (OMII-UK) that held two workshops in Edinburgh in 2009 and 2010 in what was then the National e-Science Institute in Edinburgh. The aim of these workshops was to get researchers to come together, talk, avoid reinventing the wheel and to establish fruitful collaborations. It was, and has remained, a most excellent networking event.
HPC-CORE simulation software workshop

Lancaster University, 7-8 April 2016
The programme for the HPC-CORE (High Performance Computing-based Computational fluid dynamics for Offshore Renewable Energy) workshop has now been published. This event brings together scientific specialists from Engineering, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences, and HPC experts to discuss the state of the art for simulation software, and the leading-edge simulations being undertaken with such software.
