I started working as a systems administrator for ICHEC in September 2005 after completing my undergraduate in Electronic and Computer engineering at NUIG. There were less than ten people at the centre then and a lot to do so I got to work on many things

Opening.io, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) startup based in Dublin, has have recently completed work with the Irish Centre for High End Computing (ICHEC) in partnership with Microsoft Ireland and Nvidia on a proof of concept project aimed at increasing software performance by porting CPU based software to GPUs.

ICHEC supercomputer user Dr. Cristina Trujillo has been awarded funding via a Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) Starting Investigator Research Grant (SIRG) award, for her project entitled “Using novel computational methods in a highly efficient procedure to obtain pharmaceutical compounds for initial chemical design”.

Adam Kelly, aged 17, who used ICHEC's supercomputer for his project, has taken home the top prize for his project entitled "Optimizing The Simulation Of General Quantum Circuits".
