Saving the Planet, One Algorithm at a Time! You all know I love high-performance computing, but recently I’ve been thinking a lot about something even more important: our planet! As I walk around the office observing our brilliant consultants at work, I’ve been pondering how AI can be a superhero in the fight for sustainability. … Read more
The Accessible World of HPC Supercomputers sure do grab headlines and solve some of the world’s largest problems, but being on the TOP500 is not all that High-Performance Computing (HPC) is about. The truth is, HPC isn’t reserved for national laboratories or tech giants. It’s a practical efficiency solution that’s transforming how organisations of all … Read more
Introduction It’s mid-2013 and I have just graduated with a physics degree. I really enjoyed the theoretical component, but the computational and experimental labs were rather uninspiring. I still wanted to do something more practical, with foreseeable benefits, but I was also afraid of specialising myself into oblivion. A few months of speculative emails and … Read more
Azure Batch, or Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Choosing the right platform for computational workloads is a business decision that impacts scalability, cost, and operational efficiency. Azure offers three powerful options for different use cases: Azure CycleCloud, Azure Batch, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Each tool has distinct strengths and suitability for specific types of workloads. This … Read more
A Robot’s Perspective Hey there, fellow tech enthusiasts! It’s me, Roco, the friendly (and incredibly smart, cute and modest) artificially intelligent robot at Red Oak Consulting. I’m thrilled to share my thoughts on how AI is transforming our world. AI: Your Digital Sidekick Once upon a time, businesses relied solely on human intuition and experience … Read more
How HPC is Transforming Weather Forecasting In our previous blog, Weathering the Storm, we explored how High-Performance Computing (HPC) is revolutionising meteorology, enabling more accurate weather forecasting and climate modelling. From the UK Met Office’s cutting-edge supercomputer to NOAA’s cloud-based Big Data Program, it’s clear that HPC is playing an instrumental role in predicting and … Read more
The Transformative Power of HPC in Aerospace The aerospace industry stands as one of the most demanding fields for computational power. Here, precision, efficiency and safety aren’t just goals, they’re absolute necessities – at every stage of development. High-Performance Computing (HPC) has emerged as a game-changer in this landscape, playing a crucial role in everything … Read more
Having assisted with the management of a number of cloud HPC systems over the last few years, I have noticed several cost components that are often overlooked. On the other hand, customers may have some difficulty keeping control of the more obvious costs. In this article, with a focus on cloud HPC deployments, I hope … Read more
Navigating The Tangled Web of Tech and Trade. With the change in administration in the United States and the implications of the DeepSeek-R1 model filtering through the AI sector, it’s a good opportunity to look at the implications of legislation that was signed into law by the Biden administration just a week before leaving power. … Read more
Unravelling the Secrets of Matter at the Atomic Scale Molecular Dynamics (MD) is a powerful computational technique that has revolutionized our understanding of complex chemical and biological systems. By simulating the motion and interactions of atoms and molecules over time, MD provides invaluable insights into the behaviour of matter at the microscopic level. In this … Read more
