Code for Thought

Deutsche Version: In dieser letzten Folge vor Weihnachten treffe ich mich mit Priv. Doz. Dr Georg Hager vom Rechenzentrum der Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. Georg Hager gibt uns einen kleinen Überblick in die Entwicklung von HPC Rechnern, also Hochleistungsrechnern und wir sprechen über die Herausforderung bzgl. Software Entwicklung und wie man Personal and HPC Rechner heranführt.

[EN] English Edition: "Green computing" had a strong showing at the annual conference for Research Software Engineering in Newcastle, UK, early September 2024. I talk to the presenters, poster creator and organisers of the birds of the feather session on the subject. In addition you hear from Charlotte Pascoe and Poppy Townsend from the UKRI on their project to get us to net zero. And finally, from the platinum sponsor of the conference: CloudKubed https://www.cloudkubed.com.

Also note https://eng.ox.ac.uk/netdrive/ from UKRI, who work towards a sustainable, digital research infrastructure.
