@epcc.bsky.social's Sebastien Lemaire created a stunning video of wind turbine wakes based on a CFD simulation that was run on ARCHER2. He used Blender on a 6 GPU workstation to render the video, which is displayed in room B301 at #SC24 - go and check it out!

Oh. The national high performance supercomputer I use for my project (ARCHER2) is going away in November. Apparently all project leads whose access extends beyond that have been emailed. No...they haven't, because I haven't.
