R on Rocky 9 With the major operating system upgrade from Centos 7 to Rocky 9, we want toensure that using R, RStudio, and Open OnDemand (OOD) is as seamless aspossible. This post will include new tips for a better experience, as well as areiteration of the important or frequently forgotten old tips. Starting fresh ☀️ When encountering any issues with your OOD RStudio, the first place to start iswith a completely new session. If possible, ensure that you close out of any andall currently ...| QMUL ITS Research Blog
Using Python inside of R with reticulate A previous blog post coveredUsing R inside of Conda, but what aboutif you want to use Python packages inside an existingR orRStudio via OnDemand session?This is where thereticulate R Interface to Pythoncomes in. !!! warning "Remove previous reticulate virtual environments" You may have previously been using ${HOME}/.virtualenvs for storing Python virtualenvs you have been using in R via reticulate. To avoid issues, you should remove these before follow...| QMUL ITS Research Blog

Unification of Memory on the Grace Hopper Nodes The delivery of new GPUs for research is continuing, most notable is the newIsambard-AI cluster atBristol. As new cutting-edge GPUs are released, software engineers aretasked with being made aware of the new architectures and features these newGPUs offer. The new Grace-Hopper GH200 nodes, as announced in a previous blogpost, consist of a 72-core NVIDIA Grace CPU and anH100 Tensor Core GPU. One of the key innovations is the NVIDIA NVLinkChip-2-Ch...| QMUL ITS Research Blog

A Short Guide to PyTorch DDP In this blog post, we explore whattorchrun andDistributedDataParallelare and how they can be used to speed up your neural network training by usingmultiple GPUs. Neural networks, or even deep neural networks, are popular models for machinelearning. Mathematically, they can be interpreted as nested functions withmillions of parameters. If the parameters are tuned well, they can be used tomake predictions, such as when given a photo, it predicts what that photoconta...| QMUL ITS Research Blog
