We're excited to build services to support our EPSRC funded, Early Career Researchers, using GPU computing and accelerate their work. A successful bid! https://t.co/5OznKBv6wz @UniKentResearch @UniKentResSupp

Helped a School purchase nodes for the central HPC cluster last week. Today working with incoming academic, to ensure they have the server hardware they need, come September. Two more similar projects in progress, one huge (updates soon). Exciting times for HPC and SIT!

@Cradacus The one on the far left top isn’t a cpu Tbf, it’s ancient RAM. Left cpu is pentium pro and the the silver one is a Sun T1

[Unseen IT at Unikent @UnikentUnseenIT]

Clearing out old office. Never know when a spare CPU will be handy...

[Unseen IT at Unikent @UnikentUnseenIT]

@bencc Yep. Binning a lot, but they are being kept. Probably still got one on campus in use somewhere...

[Unseen IT at Unikent @UnikentUnseenIT]

Never know when you’ll need to convert your DECwriter terminal to a different character set...

[Unseen IT at Unikent @UnikentUnseenIT]

Intercom might be useful in new office. Or for future project...

Anyone got a sun ultra that needs the hot swap bootrom trick to get going? We haz boot ROM...
