We are delighted that the Government today revealed its #AI roadmap to economic growth! 🖥️ Our #supercomputer Isambard-AI will play a major role in advancing the nation’s AI capabilities and help transform the UK into a technological superpower. 🦸 brnw.ch/21wPY1u
1/ Today the Prime Minister published my AI Opportunities Action Plan for the UK and committed to implement all its recommendations. A quick thread on why this is important, what we need to do now - and how you can help
I’ve recently started a secondment into DSIT to work on delivering the AI Action Plan. In particular, I’ll be focusing on AI for Science and the new Sovereign AI Unit. Here’s why this work matters and how I could do with you and your network’s help! open.substack.com/pub/tomwestgar…
Here’s how we will use AI to deliver our Plan for Change and improve the lives of people across the UK.
🥳 Our Isambard-AI supercomputer has been recognised by @UKRI_News as one of their 12 highlights of #Christmas! What better way to celebrate the incredible hard work of our Bristol Centre for Supercomputing team than to make this remarkable list. 🙌 👉bit.ly/4gO3Ref

My updates are now taking place on Bluesky rather than here - join the burgeoning HPC community over there! @simonmcs.bsky.social
The closure paves the way for the launch of Isambard 3, a new, TOP500-class supercomputer service for AI and high-performance computing, based at the Bristol and Bath Science Park, due to launch later on in the year.
After six years of service and innovation, GW4 Isambard 2 has officially powered down, having contributed toward research into topics including, Alzheimer's, Covid-19 and renewable energy 🖥️🧠. Read our reflections: buff.ly/4fv8RnW
The Birds of a Feather sessions continue on Wednesday. Simon McIntosh-Smith joins the popular Arm & OpenMP BoFs. And I will join the C++ BoF to share experiences using standard parallel C++. #SC24 buff.ly/4g14NvJ buff.ly/3YHt42J buff.ly/4fFxSfS
On Sunday at the P3HPC workshop, Wei-Chen (Tom) Lin will present their tool and approach for measuring productivity - the much understudied but very important third P. The metric showed some interesting conclusions around #OpenMP semantics. #SC24 buff.ly/4hIPsRQ
Finally met @simonmcs after years of near misses. Already booking time to see Isembard-3 in person #HPC nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-gr…
We're bridging the gap between theory and practice in the rapidly evolving field of AI safety. If you're an academic looking to collaborate on cutting-edge AI safety research, we want to hear from you! 1/2
The REACH 2024 conference is taking place on 11 and 12 November in London. In addition to giving a talk I will also be moderating a panel session on the wider aspects of AI and computer architecture with the fantastic people below. Come! Amir Yazdanbakhsh, Research Scientist,…
This Budget supports British science and technology with Research and Development spending rising to a record level of over £20 billion. The Department of Science, Innovation and Technology’s R&D budget rises by 8.5% in real terms to £13.9 billion.
After 6 years of service the Isambard 2 supercomputer is finally being retired! Starting in May 2018, Isambard was the world's first production Arm-based supercomputer, employing ThunderX2 CPUs. Isambard 3 takes over today using NVIDIA Grace Arm-based CPUs provided by HPE
Data centres are the engines of modern life, they power the digital economy and keep our information safe. Bringing them into the Critical National Infrastructure regime will allow better coordination and cooperation with gov against cyber criminals and unexpected events.
Data centres power our economy. From enabling you to get your NHS prescription, to paying for things online. ❗ We've now classed UK data centres as Critical National Infrastructure. 🔒 This means that we can help prevent threats and act quickly in the event of a cyber attack.
