Was great supervising Ludovic during his PhD, and I am pleased he has now joined @EPCCed as staff. His research brought the vertex centric model to a scale hitherto unobtainable, and set an unofficial world record for the largest vertex centric graph processed in shared memory ;)
EPCC Teaching Fellow Ludovic Capelli lets us in on his #PhD years when he investigated the vertex-centric programming model used in graph processing.

We are meeting with UCEA this morning. The UCU negotiating team will be doing everything possible to move towards an agreement that is acceptable to our members. We will update you later today. Thank you for your continued support.

It's really shocking that this hasn't been resolved yet, and it's vital for UK science that this be resolved and the UK rejoin Horizon. Just look at the numbers - it's a devastating loss to UK science.

If any members of Edinburgh University Court are looking for ways to spice up the next meeting, how about:
- Motion to withhold Peter Mathieson's £40k payrise until industrial action ends.
- Motion to deduct 50% of Peter Mathieson's wages until industrial action ends.
- Motion of no confidence in Peter Mathieson.
- Motion to sack Peter Mathieson.
More strike action should take place on sunny days, this is much more civilised than the usual freezing wind ☀️
Lots of coverage of today’s action at @EdinburghUni UCU member @David_Farrier telling @BBCScotlandNews why @ucuedinburgh members are striking today #ucuRISING

The principal has, a week after it was reported that he has been given a 12% payrise, sent an email asking if staff engaged in the MAB would consider undermining it exchange for full pay, but no progress on the dispute itself.
Unfortunately, I can't make the @ucuedinburgh branch meeting tomorrow, but I hope someone tables a motion to explain to Peter Mathieson what he can do with his proposal. Ideally, in graphic detail.
Still furious about this. How fucking collossally out of touch do you have to be to take a 12% payrise when your staff are engaged in industrial action, and finance staff are having to manually process the pay deductions because of a failed IT procurement?!
