Planning group dinner
by Andrew Coles 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

Hi all, The planning group Christmas dinner is booked for Monday the 12th of December, the date most people could make in the Doodle poll. Thanks to Liana for organising this. The table is booked for 6pm (we had few options of times or venues -- next year we should book in October...) and will be at: Bill’s Restaurant Covent Garden 13 Slingsby Place, St Martins Courtyard (Off Long Acre) London WC2E 9AB I will contact you nearer the time with the menu -- we need to order food a couple of days in advance. Cheers, Andrew -- Dr Andrew Coles Lecturer Department of Informatics, King's College London Room: S6.14, Tel: +44 (0) 20 7848 1511

Next planning meeting
by Magazzeni, Daniele 23 Nov '16

23 Nov '16

Hi all, Sorry I couldn't join the planning meeting today, but I'm about to flight to Madrid as tomorrow I'll join a panel discussion on legal aspects on AI and Robotics. I'll brief you when I'm back. As I announced earlier, we have Dr. Achille Fonzone (in Cc) visiting us for the next 4 weeks. He's sitting in the hot desk, close to Bram. Please welcome him. Achille will give a talk on his research (Public Transport) at the next planning meeting (Wednesday 30, at 1pm). Below title and abstract. See you on Monday. Best, Dan --------------------------------------------------------------------- Why Intelligent Transport System (ITS) data are important if you are interested in public transport passenger behaviour Also in transport data is everywhere: travellers can rely on the advice of well-informed journey planners, transport operators can monitor the performance of means in real-time, planners have huge amount of data to get to know cities and city-dwellers. The seminar will discuss the potential for intelligent mobility applications enabled by ITS data, looking at the demand for innovation as it emerges from a Transport Catapult report. Then it will focus on data and public transport behaviour, illustrating how ITS data can be used to understand travellers' behaviour in the case of Santander Cycles Scheme. Finally, it will show the results of a survey investigating the actual impact of real-time information on bus passengers. --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Dr Daniele Magazzeni Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence, King's College London Head, AI Planning Group Editor-in-Chief, AI Communications http://www.inf.kcl.ac.uk/staff/danmag

HPC Facilities Talk
by Amanda Coles 22 Nov '16

22 Nov '16

Hi All, We discussed a while ago what would be good activities for meetings and one thing that came up was the use of the HPC. Andreas from the systems team has agreed to come and talk to us about the HPC facilities and in particular what we can do with them given our needs in our meeting on Wednesday November 23rd, this will be in S6.06. I won't have time to talk about scripting etc. until after then, but it will be good to work out what we actually have to work with first in any case. I'm going to presume that given the looming ICAPS deadline no one wants to meet this week, so we will resume meetings on the 23rd. After that we should get a more organised schedule for meetings for the rest of term, we will be looking for volunteers to entertain us so please think about what you can talk about. Amanda -- Dr Amanda Coles Lecturer Department of Informatics King's College London Room: S6.17 http://www.inf.kcl.ac.uk/staff/amanda/

Fwd: High Performance Computing Workshops - new dates
by Amanda Coles 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Hi All, Not sure if you all got this, I know this was a topic that was of interest to several people for running their workshops, so it might be of interest to some of you to sign up. We're still going to have our in-house sessions, but it might be interesting to look what else is out there, Amanda -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: High Performance Computing Workshops - new dates Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2016 11:14:54 +0000 From: Ward, Lucy <lucy.ward(a)kcl.ac.uk> To: nmsstf-l Mailman List <nmsstf-l(a)mailman.kcl.ac.uk>, nmsstu-l Mailman List <nmsstu-l(a)mailman.kcl.ac.uk> Dear all, The Faculty will be running a number of High Performance Computing workshops over the next few months. The goal of this workshop is to give users solid foundations for high performance Computing (HPC) usage in a local cluster and cloud services. The training uses hands-on exercises on modern HPC systems, such as jobs of MPI or OpenMP software on shared memory nodes, CUDA software for graphics co-processors (GPUs), and MPI models for distributed memory systems. The HPC training covers ideas for three major classes of machines: for sequential machines with memory hierarchies (e.g., cache), for multicore shared memory machines and for distributed memory machines like clusters and supercomputers, via network models. The practical aspect of this course involves setting up scripts for running software and compiling software with different flags on real parallel and distributed systems, so users can check whether what appears to work well in theory also translates into practice. Emphasis will be given in teaching good practises of contacting research using computational experiments in HPC clusters. The course will cover: -Parallelism paradigms & HPC hardware; -Job Scheduling, queuing system (SGE), fair usage and charging; -Scientific software, compilation of software, validation, good practises of research; -Introduction to Rosalind, use of the HPC and Openstack part; -Alternative facilities and the cloud; *Prerequisites*: Good knowledge of Linux *Dates, times & locations:* Wednesday 30 November 2016 - 14:00 - 17:30 in K3.16 Wednesday 1 March 2017 - 14:00 - 17:30 in K4U.13 Wednesday 21 June 2017 - 14:00-17:30 in K4U.13 If you would like to attend one of the above sessions, please do let me know.
