Do you use Avizo, the 3D visualization and analysis software for scientific and industrial data? Research staff from the Henry Moseley X-ray Imaging Facility in the School of Materials are now running two drop in sessions per week.
Events
Research Software Workshop
Jisc, in collaboration with The University of Sheffield, have organised a free workshop for all researchers interested and passionate about developing or using research software.
The organisers want to collate common problems and share experiences around managing and sharing software, as well as developing new solutions. There will be experts on hand to answer any questions and inform participants of available resources.
Collaborations Workshop 2017 (CW17): The Internet of Things and Open Data
The Collaborations Workshop 2017 (CW17) is the Software Sustainability Institute’s research software event of 2017. It brings together key members of the research software community to present, discuss, build, make, network and explore key and current areas of the research software landscape. Many RSE groups will have representatives attending.
Introduction to Avizo January 2017
An Avizo Introduction course will be running at the University of Manchester on Thursday, 26th January. Avizo is 3D visualization and analysis software for scientific data.
Research IT Drop In Sessions 2017
Thank you to everyone who came to one of our Drop-in sessions over the last month. It’s been great to hear about your projects and see how Research IT might be able to support your research.
Parallel Programming with C++
There will be a half day course on “Parallel Programming with C++” at the University on the 24th of January 2017. This is a short course that will give you a taste of functional programming in C++ and how it can be used to write efficient parallel code.
NAG Numerical & Statistical Routines within MATLAB
NAG (The Numerical Algorithms Group) are running a training session on how to make the most of their numerical and statistical routines within MATLAB. The NAG Library, and Fortran Compiler, are available to University of Manchester staff and students for use on both institutional and personal machines for academic use under a site-wide license.
Computing Insight UK comes to Manchester
Computing Insight UK 2016 (CIUK) will take place in Manchester this year allowing for networking between users / researchers/ vendors and sales for various HPC architectures. There is also a full day of presentations where Martin Turner from Research IT will be presenting on ‘Building a bespoke system for combined HPC and 3D Visualisation.
Wolfram Mathematica Roadshow
Wolfram will be on campus on the 22nd of November to introduce Mathematica v11, their powerful technical computing platform. The University has acquired unlimited licenses for this system which allows users to perform data analysis, text and language processing, geographic data visualisation and more. In addition Mathematica also provides neural networks, machine learning possibilities and audio, image and signal processing capabilities.
Avizo December Training Courses
Two Avizo courses will take place in the Photon Science Institute (PSI) at the university in December. An introductory course will take place on the 6th followed by an advanced course on the 7th. The courses are free to students / members of staff at the University of Manchester but external attendees will be charged.
Registration has now closed for these training events.
