HPC and Big Data Technologies for Global Systems (HiDALGO) is a European project funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Commission, comprising 13 partner institutions from seven countries. Its mission is to develop novel methods, algorithms and software for HPC and HPDA to accurately model and simulate the complex processes which arise…
Researchers from the Brunel University London led by Dr Derek Groen have developed the Flu And Corona virus Simulator (FACS), a simulation tool that models the viral spread at the sub-national level, incorporating geospatial data sources to extract buildings and residential areas within a predefined region. Using FACS, the researchers can model Covid-19 spread at…
The Centre for Computational Science (CCS) of University College London (UCL) is offering a fully-funded studentship to a highly motivated candidate to start in September 2020. The studentship will cover tuition fees at UK/EU rate plus a maintenance stipend of £17,285 (tax free) per annum for three years. The post-holder will work primarily on scientific…
VECMA was featured in a FETFX e-Magazine article titled ‘Reliability and Reproducibility in Computational Science: Can We Trust Algorithms?’. The article mentions the progress with VECMAtk in terms of facilitating reliability in computer simulations, and features the newly-produced VECMA video.
Graphene oxide is extremely versatile, with potential applications in many engineering fields. But for its effective use, control of its structure is essential. For instance, thin films and membranes require highly ordered nanoparticle arrangements; composites require dispersed nanoparticles, and hydrogels require 3D porous arrangements. However, the structure of graphene oxide can vary significantly depending on…

We are pleased to announce the Month 18 release of the VECMA VVUQ Toolkit (VECMAtk). The VECMAtk provides several tools for end users to capture complex scenarios, applied to applications in wide science and engineering domains, and used to run multiscale simulations on any desktop, cluster or supercomputing platform. Some new features have been added…
