Abstract
The recently founded UCL Centre for Advanced Research Computing (ARC) provides computational and analytical resources for researchers across UCL and different academic disciplines to come together. Amongst other expertise and infrastructure, ARC has a team of specialists in High Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) with experience of working across academic domains.
Interdisciplinary collaboration with compute services can be very rewarding, but sometimes getting started can be daunting and communicating can be difficult due to a mutual lack of domain knowledge. This discussion will address how ARC may help lower some of these barriers in HPC and AI, and how researchers, as well as computing specialists, can benefit from each other and improve collaboration.
This is a follow-on event to the SeptembRSE panel discussion "Exploring the RSE role in HPC, AI, and ML in emerging (and unconventional) fields" (A short summary of the discussion will be provided at the start). It is mainly aimed at UCL researchers but everyone is welcome. This is an opportunity to meet ARC's research technology professionals with expertise in HPC and AI in an informal setting.
