- Good start into the week: Our paper on "Annotation-guided AoS-to-SoA conversions and GPU offloading with data views in C++" has been accepted at CPE: arxiv.org/pdf/2502.16517 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2502.16517
- Great to see our knowledge exchange project (cake-dri.github.io) being represented properly at meetings. Thanks to Eleanor Broadway @epcc.bsky.social
- Not to be shared yet (and therefore I put it on social media ;-): As of next autumn, we will start recruiting for a new MSc on AI Infrastructure Platforms. This aligns perfectly with our recent successes and investments into upskilling around Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI).
- It is great to be at Gregynog to learn more about gravitational waves. Excellent introductory talk by Bernard F. Schutz pointing out how computer hardware technology changed the discipline. We need the same appreciation for software now. https://sites.google.com/view/nrgregynog/home
- It's always great to spot your code in a talk: ExaHyPE's ExaSeis featured in one of the #ISC25 workshops.
