VECMA will participate in ISC High Performance, one of the most prestigious supercomputing conferences, for the second consecutive year. This year, ISC will address current developments critical to high performance computing, machine learning and data analytics, as well as the future advances that will shape these technologies, through the following topics: System Architecture, Applications/Algorithms, Emerging…
Supervisor: Professor P. V. Coveney Closing date: 26 April 2021 The UCL Centre for Computational Science (CCS) 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…
We are delighted to announce the publication of a Theme Issue in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A. The issue is titled “Reliability and Reproducibility in Computational Science: Implementing Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification in Silico” and a significant proportion of the papers contained therein stems from research led by UCL’s Centre…
In this edition of the Simulation-based Science series hosted by the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) of the University of Amsterdam, Peter Coveney will give a talk on the role of simulation-based science in decision-making for healthcare, government and industry. When: 26 February 2021 | 1600-1700CET / 1500-1600GMT Where: https://uva-live.zoom.us/j/6023898922 Title: The Role of Simulation-Based…
In an article titled ‘The impact of uncertainty on predictions of the CovidSim epidemiological code’ and published by Nature Computational Science on 22 February 2021, VECMA reports on an analysis of CovidSim, the Imperial College model upon which the UK government relied in part to model various non-pharmaceutical intervention strategies, and guide its government policy…
UCL Chemistry Department is offering a fully funded studentship for three years to a highly motivated candidate to start in March 2021. The project will involve a collaboration with CBK Sci Con and is co-funded by them. The student will work on scientific applications of HemeLB, a flexible open source lattice-Boltzmann code for the simulation…
SARS-CoV2 has rapidly spread worldwide since December 2019, and early modelling work of this pandemic has assisted in identifying effective government interventions. The UK government relied in part on the CovidSim model developed by Professor Neil Ferguson’s team at the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis at Imperial College London, to model various non-pharmaceutical…
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…
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.
