Abstract
Bear – the Birmingham Environment for Academic Research provides compute, storage, training and research software engineering support. Bear’s computing resource is provided as BlueBEAR, a heterogenous system comprising the latest CPU and GPU hardware connected to fast, secure storage. Access to Bear is provided free of charge to University of Birmingham researchers, funded from university central funds. This ensures that all researchers have a baseline access to the machine to try-out research computing and develop new projects.
Once again the breadth of the simulations carried out on
BlueBEAR is staggering, modelling everything from price-setting behaviour, thermoelectrics and proteins to stars. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning continues to play an important role in research, in this case study including high entropy alloys and linking environmental policy to impact. This and the previous Case studies demonstrate the scientific and societal value of having such a resource and -- in a tough climate -- help justify its continued support.
