  • Paper alert: thanks to funding through the #eCSE programme we have completed a first version of our domain specific language DSLHyPE for ExaHyPE to model compute kernels for hyperbolic PDEs for CPUs and GPUs. This is joint work with friends from @epcc.bsky.social : arxiv.org/abs/2608.19273 https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.19273
  • I think I wrote about this before, but a lot interesting recordings from the Durham #HPCDays2026 are now available at www.youtube.com/@Durham_HPC. Besides that, you find a lot of our C++ training there as a latest update! https://www.youtube.com/@Durham_HPC
  • I travelled to WCCM in Munich today and the first talk I attended was on the impact of climate change on historic masonry. It presented studies from Durham Castle. The world is small ...
  • This is an interesting paper to read: arxiv.org/pdf/2607.04881 It addresses a fundamental issue we have in many octree-based codes: The number of leaves explodes as we go down the hierarchy even though we might not need isotropic refinement. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.04881
  • There's a great article on the @cake-dri.bsky.social webpage (it is not written by us!) summarising some impressions from the #HPCDays in Durham this year. What a great show, what a great community. https://www.cake.ac.uk/news/k8s-cake-at-dhpcd/
