CompBioMed’s 20th e-seminar took place on 9 December 2021 Introduction to Biomedical Image Registration and the Parallel Framework for Image Registration Biomedical imaging, based on different acquisition modalities (CT, PET, MRI, ultrasound), is a powerful diagnostic tool adopted in many clinical settings. Images of patients captured at different time points and with different modalities may…
CompBioMed’s 19th e-seminar took place on 9 November 2021 Biomedical Supercomputing Applications In the first part of the talk, the biomedical context is presented, while the second part is dedicated to parallelisation and performance issues and enhancement. 1st part. Organ level simulations represent both a challenge and an opportunity: the Virtual Patient modelling for precision…
CompBioMed’s 18th e-seminar took place on 6 October 2021 High Performance Containers Containers are a convenient means of encapsulating complex software environments, but can this convenience be realised for parallel research codes? Running such codes costs money, which means that code performance is often tuned to specific supercomputer platforms. Therefore, for containers to be useful…
Supervisor: Professor P. V. Coveney Closing date: 26 April 2021 We are recruiting for a candidate to join a very active inter-disciplinary group in the Centre for Computational Science and will perform modelling and simulation of the cardiovascular system on the whole human scale. The post-holder will work on scientific applications of HemeLB, a flexible…
The CompBioMed Centre of Excellence has joined the Open Call of the project LEXIS, which commenced their further collaboration. Thanks to the LEXIS platform CompBioMed will move data more effectively and safely between HPC centres with the help of integrated HPC, AI, Big Data and Cloud. Further, enabling Edge Computing so that hospitals can exploit…
Each week on the InSilico World and CompBioMed Slack Scalability channel one of our research group outlines the work that they have done to scale their codes. We are happy that 60 experts have already joined this channel and we would like more interaction and discussions taking place on the channel around the codes being described…
