Several Research IT and ITS team members recently attended the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) in Hamburg, one of the world's leading events for high-performance computing (HPC), AI infrastructure, and advanced computing technologies.

The Human Brain Project (HBP) was an EU Flagship project that started in 2013 with the aim of establishing a research computing infrastructure to enable advancements in the fields of neuroscience, computing, and medicine. This involved work across several computing systems in Europe, including the SpiNNaker hardware at the University of Manchester, which had been under development for a number of years before that.

Find out how Research IT research software engineers are playing a key role in SpiNNaker, part of the Human Brain project.
