Industrial Mathematics Internships - Special focus on GPU Computing
The continuing increase in microprocessor performance is no longer being driven by increases in clock speed, but by the exploitation of multicore architectures. GPUs make multicore computing accessible off-the-shelf. They take the specialist capabilities of traditional graphics cards and harness them in a more versatile way, to create completely new possibilities for scientific and engineering applications. We are offering companies the opportunity to take their initial steps into GPU computing using our programme of Industrial Mathematics Internships. An Internship provides an ideal means of creating new software demonstrators, or upgrading existing code, to exploit the benefits of GPU technology.

Workshop update: Theory of magnetic confinement for fusion
A workshop on the theory of magnetic confinement for fusion was held on 22 September 2008 at Balliol College, Oxford. The workshop was held in commemoration of Professor L.C. Woods, with the aim of stimulating new ideas and independent thought on the topic of magnetic confinement of plasmas for fusion. The full report for the workshop is now available.
