2023¶
Promoting Linux and High Performance Computing at QMUL
The High Performance Computing (HPC) team is keen to spread Linux and HPC knowledge at Queen Mary University of London. Keeping in mind our vision to support excellence in research, our valuable efforts have been fruitful this year. Our achievements include:
Update of environment modules to version 5.3.0
We have deployed the latest version of Environment Modules (5.3.0) across the cluster on all frontend and compute nodes.
R Workflow
Nowadays, there seems to be an R package for anything and everything. While this makes starting a project in R seem quick and easy, there are considerations to take into account that will make your life easier in the long run.
Keeping Files Tidy
Files quickly proliferate and need to be kept tidy. It is important that the correct people can access the files, and file systems are well-structured for easy navigation.
A Large Scale Ancestry Study | Living with Machines
Living with Machines is a funded project at The Alan Turing Institute (aka the Turing), bringing together academics from different disciplines, to answer research questions such as how did historical newspapers tell the political landscape, how were accidents in factories reported, how did road and settlement names change, how did people change occupations during the industrial revolution...
Installing R packages more quickly using Ncpus
Installing packages into a personal R library can sometimes take quite a long time, but it doesn't always have to be this way.
