    • EPISODE 1:

      POWERING FUSION ENERGY ON EARTH BY 2040

      Nigel discovers the learnings and implications as the University of Cambridge adopts the lastest Dell PowerEdge servers with 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors to satisfy the extraordinary compute demands of the UKAEA who are pushing the frontiers of physics and engineering using advanced computing and AI. 

      Featuring Paul Calleja, Director of Computing at University of Cambridge.

    • EPISODE 2:

      FEEDING AND WATERING THE NEXT GEN DATA CENTER

      Nigel explores the challenges of power and cooling as improved compute performance means we're fast approaching power demands of up to 100kW per rack. The University of Cambridge data center share practical insights into how they have addressed these challenges and achieve a PUE of 1.14.

      Featuring Joe Bishop, Research Computing Specialist, University of Cambridge.

    • EPISODE 3:

      MANAGING AT THE SPEED OF AI

      Nigel identifies key learnings and best practices for efficiently managing devices across a busy data center. Exploring the topic with Joe Bishop who manages more than 5.000 devices at the University of Cambridge, the conversation covers practical topics including the choice of tools, capturing key inputs and how to driver ever-greater efficiency.

      Featuring Joe Bishop, Research Computing Specialist, University of Cambridge.

    • EPISODE 4:

      TURBO-CHARGING WORKLOADS AND ACCELERATORS

      Nigel examines the strategic use of GPUs to deliver faster outcomes. Exploring the topic with Paul Calleja, Director of Research Computing at the University of Cambridge, they discuss the practicalities of how GPUs can accelerate model training and inferencing as well as HPC workloads in order to deliver faster time to results.

      Featuring Paul Calleja, Research Computing Specialist, University of Cambridge.

    • EPISODE 5:

      THE FASTEST INTEL GPU CLUSTER IN EUROPE

      From planning to deployment in 3 months Nigel explores the journey of standing up the fastest Intel GPU Cluster in Europe in just 3 months with the team behind the project at University of Cambridge, covering the lifecycle of planning, procuring, installing and provision of AI and HPC services.

      Featuring Paul Calleja, Director of Computing and Joe Bishop, Research Computing Specialist, University of Cambridge.

    • EPISODE 6:

      INSIDE THE FASTEST INTEL GPU CLUSTER IN EUROPE

      In a previous episode of Accelerated Understanding we looked at the planning, implementation and deployment of the fastest Intel GPU Cluster in Europe. In this episode we’re examining the performance and optimization of the cluster with the team behind the project at University of Cambridge.

      Featuring Paul Calleja, Director of Computing, University of Cambridge.
