Has your business outgrown the spreadsheet? You do not need to be a multinational organisation, own a supercomputer or run simulations every day to benefit from High Performance Computing. Spreadsheets remain one of the most used and valuable tools in engineering and manufacturing. They are familiar, flexible, and let you get the job done. But … Read more
Building the Foundations for HPC Most people encounter high-performance computing (HPC) through software, simulations, modelling, or increasingly, artificial intelligence workloads. My route into HPC came from a very different place. It started in electrical engineering environments where systems weren’t abstract constructs, but real, physical assets that had to operate reliably under demanding conditions. Before I … Read more
What Really Defines Excellent Support? A green SLA dashboard doesn’t necessarily mean you’re delivering excellent support. When people think about excellent IT support, they often think about quick response times and meeting SLA targets. Those things matter, but they don’t tell the whole story. In my experience working in Support Services, customers rarely remember how … Read more
Roco’s Beginner’s Guide to the Real Cost of HPC Hello Again, Humans! I’ve been having another educational adventure. This time, Jorge has been teaching me about TCO, that’s Total Cost of Ownership, for anyone wondering whether it stands for Tea, Cake and Office Gossip. Sadly, it does not. Although I still think that meeting deserves … Read more
A practical guide to AI infrastructure testing, covering acceptance criteria, FAT, SAT, UAT, performance validation, and risk management for AI and HPC deployments.
A lot of HPC and AI outages don’t happen solely because of hardware failures. They happen because one person or a small team was holding everything together and then wasn’t there. If removing one person turns routine issues into crises, you’re not running a platform, you’re running a rescue operation. This is not a problem … Read more
Reducing Risk and Maximising Performance High‑Performance Computing (HPC) environments never sit quietly. Workloads grow, AI models get hungrier, research expands, and expectations climb. Meanwhile, infrastructure ages gracefully… or not so gracefully. And through all this, someone, somewhere, is expected to “just keep the cluster running.” Easy, right? Spoiler: it’s not. In many organisations, that responsibility … Read more
Compute, Power and Infrastructure Constraints Explained For much of the past two years, discussions around AI have been dominated by possibility. What models might achieve. What productivity gains could follow. What advantage might accrue to those who move first? More recently, the conversation has shifted. In meetings and programme reviews, the constraint I see most … Read more
