CompBioMed’s 30th e-seminar took place at at on 22 March 2023, titled “nUCLeus: Creating and Running a Successful Adaptable, Portable HPC Education Environment“. In March of 2020 the UCL and Sheffield teams found themselves teaching in a remote world. With the need to create HPC courses for medical students, and difficulties securing on-site hosting due…
CompBioMed’s 29th e-seminar took place at on 18 January 2023, titled “OpenMP in the Exascale Era”. Modern supercomputer nodes now contain more than 100 cores, and often several GPUs. This means that the “MPI only” approach to parallel programming is coming under increasing strain and can no longer deliver the maximum performance from the hardware.…
CompBioMed will be hosting a free screening at the Amsterdam EyeMuseum from 16:00CET on 2 December 2022. At the event, we will premiere our new film visualising how supercomputers can help combat the next pandemic. The short film, created by the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre, will be followed by a panel discussion with 4 speakers, including the…
CompBioMed’s 28th e-seminar took place on 23 November 2022 and focused on Predicting and preventing bone fractures with HPC. Femur fracture is a catastrophic event for elderly women, resulting in severe impairment of life quality or even death in many cases. One of the major risk factor is osteoporosis, an asymptomatic metabolic disorder that causes…
CompBioMed will be at the Le Studium Conference on “Cardiovascular Modelling: Basic Science to Clinical Translation” to be held in Tours (France) on 13th and 14th December 2022. The symposium is being organised, managed and sponsored by the Le Studium Institute for Advanced Studies – Loire Valley and the INSERM Unit iBrain Imagerie et Cerveau.…
CompBioMed’s 27th e-seminar took place on 19 October 2022 focused on DNA Point Mutations in the Absence and Presence of Electric Fields. DNA mutations can occur spontaneously or can be induced by external factors such as electric fields, intercalators, radiations, etc. One of the point mutation mechanisms, known as the Löwdin’s mechanism, is the double…
