Rise of Smart Cities: 5 Important Questions
How does Simulation and Digital Twins fit with the idea of Smart Cities? We travelled to the Smart City Expo in Barcelona to find out… The Smart City phenomena is growing at 30% increments yearly and worth over £1.3 Trillion, the industry is expanding faster than it can be defined. The Smart City Expo World […]
A Service-Oriented Co-Simulation
Holistic Data Center Modelling Using Thermal, Power and Computational Simulations Holistic modelling of a data center to include both thermodynamics and computational processes has the potential to revolutionize how data centers are designed and managed. Such a model is inherently multi-disciplinary, bringing together the computational elements studied by computer scientists; thermodynamics studied by mechanical engineers; […]
Move In Day
Slingshot simulations started life inside the School of Computing at the University of Leeds, the brainchild of our CTO David Mckee. After month’s of preparation today we’re finally moving into our brand new office in the new Nexus Building. The Start of Move in Week The story of our move begins a few days before […]
Rapid and accurate energy models through calibration with IPMI and RAPL
Energy consumption in Cloud and High Performance Computing platforms is a significant issue and affects aspects such as the cost of energy and the cooling of the data center. Host level monitoring and prediction provides the groundwork for improving energy efficiency through the placement of workloads. Monitoring must be fast and efficient without unnecessary overhead, […]
Energy-aware Self-Adaptation for Application Execution on Heterogeneous Parallel Architectures
Hardware in High Performance Computing environments in recent years have increasingly become more heterogeneous in order to improve computational performance. An additional aspect of such systems is the management of power and energy consumption. The increase in heterogeneity requires middleware and programming model abstractions to eliminate additional complexities that it brings, while also offering opportunities […]
Fog Orchestration and Simulation for IoT Services
The Internet of Things (IoT) interconnects physical objects including sensors, vehicles, and buildings into a virtual circumstance, resulting in the increasing integration of Cyber-physical objects. The Fog computing paradigm extends both computation and storage services in Cloud computing environment to the network edge. Typically, IoT services comprise of a set of software components running over […]
Smart Ledgers & Collective Defined Contribution Pensions
Veterans of the UK pensions scene often describe a former world in which pensions were organised on a best efforts basis. They tend to lament its passing and view the current situation, in which pensions promises are either hard and immutable, as is the case with UK defined benefit (DB) schemes, or non-existent, as is […]
