Ensuring an effective user experience when managing and running scientific HPC software

With CPU clock speeds stagnating over the last few years, ongoing advances in computing power and capabilities are being supported through increasing multi- and many-core parallelism. The resulting cost of locally maintaining large-scale computing infrastructure, combined with the need to perform increasingly large simulations, is leading to the wider use of alternative models of accessing […]

Techniques for automated local activation time annotation and conduction velocity estimation in cardiac mapping

Measurements of cardiac conduction velocity provide valuable functional and structural insight into the initiation and perpetuation of cardiac arrhythmias, in both a clinical and laboratory context. The interpretation of activation wavefronts and their propagation can identify mechanistic properties of a broad range of electrophysiological pathologies. However, the sparsity, distribution and uncertainty of recorded data makes […]
