Re: [Physics-Departmental-Computing] Mailman 3 testing

Dear Mark, My apologies for not replying earlier. I read your email when I was running two weeks of summer school and went on holiday straight afterwards and so forgot about it. I have cc'ed the physics-departmental-computing list as I am sure that we will have willing testers there. In fact one of the things that we could try is migrating this list mailman 3 - does this sound like a good idea?

Physics Computing meeting
by David Colling 07 Jul '25

07 Jul '25

Dear All, There is a FoNS Computing Meeting next Wednesday afternoon. I normally like us to meet the week before the FoNS meeting, but last time it also worked well when we met shortly after the FoNS meeting. If we are to meet before, then I am afraid that my only availability, is Wednesday lunchtime - which if others are available would work well. Otherwise I have created the usual doodle poll for dates in the following week. PLease can you fill inthe doodle poll before 5pm on Monday so that we can set a date. The doodle poll is at: https://doodle.com/group-poll/participate/eZrJQlEe Given the usual items (updates from RCS, ICT, Cyber Security, etc) are there any other items that people would like to include? If so please then let me know. Best, david

(Probably) important request for cases
by David Colling 22 Jun '25

22 Jun '25

Hi All, We have the possibility of a, currently unnamed, donor giving us a very very large AI system. The original approach (I believe) was through the business school but we are trying to broaden this out for the whole college. To this end Richard Craster and Peter Todd have asked us for a short paragraph (just a few lines) on, of order 3, areas where we would use such a facility. For example Sophia Yaliraki has come back with: AI-driven molecular discovery: i) Tackling Antimicrobial resistance (GSK/Fleming Project) ii) Drugging the undruggable targets in disease (Excellence award) and rare diseases (MRC functional genomics cluster) iii) Advanced sustainable materials discovery for energy applications (AIchemy Hub) and is writing short paragraphs on these. So I would like three areas from physics. My initial guesses would probably be: 1. AI approach to modelling climate change 2. AI Modelling fusion 3. Understanding the physics of the universe (either PP or cosmology or both) But these three guesses probably do more to show my ignorance than anything else - I have no idea if AI is at all applicable to climate change or fusion and I am sure that there are plenty of other ground breaking pieces of work that would be changed by having access to a very large AI resource. So please actively search in your communities and come back with suggestions. The timescale is the next few days and as you can see these are not full proposals just areas that will appeal to a donor. Best, david

Meeting tomorrow
by David Colling 16 May '25

16 May '25

Hi All, I have booked our CMS Centre/small meeting room for tomorrow B544 (most people join over teams these days and this can hold 10-15 people at a push). The meeting time is 12:00->13:00. I have had no extra agenda items so tomorrow's meeting should be short (famous last words). Although if I forget please can somebody remind me to record the meeting so that Beth can write some minutes. So the agenda is: - Actions - Update from RCS - Andy - Update from rest of ICT - Okan - Update on physics RSE - Liz? - Teaching machines (possibly done offline later as Michael cannot make this time). - AoB Best, david
