Limited YNiC support 14-18th April
by Richard Aveyard 07 Apr '25

07 Apr '25

Hello All, The keen amongst you will have noticed that there is no operator cover available next week (14-18th April). This is necessary to accommodate part-time working patterns and annual leave for YNiC staff. The Centre's IT facilities will continue to be available, and projects can continue running scans wherein they can provide their own operators. There will, however, be limited support available to resolve any problems that arise. As ever, please ensure that you get any necessary level 3 operator sign-offs completed as far ahead as possible: there will be extremely limited availability next week. Please get in touch as soon as possible if you anticipate this causing undue disruption. Best Wishes, Rich -- Dr Richard Aveyard Senior Technical Specialist York NeuroImaging Centre University of York, UK

Avoid Running Computationally Heavy Tasks on the Remote Desktop
by Jennifer Ashton 18 Mar '25

18 Mar '25

Hello, We would like to remind everyone that the remote desktop is not suitable for running computationally heavy tasks or resource-intensive processes. To ensure optimal performance for all users, please send resource-heavy computations (such as large data processing tasks) to the cluster. It is designed to handle such workloads more efficiently and with minimal disruption to others. If you're unsure how to access the cluster or need assistance with setting up your jobs please let us know (email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk).

Some festive good news
by Aidan Horner 18 Dec '24

18 Dec '24

Dear YNiC researchers, I'm pleased to say we have just been awarded an internal equipment renewal grant to replace the majority of our PCs in YNiC (stimulus and open plan PCs), purchase a decent chunk of central storage, and a few other bits and bobs. This will be purchased and rolled out between now and July 2025. This should massively improve things at YNiC, so I'm really grateful to all who contributed to the application but biggest thanks to Joe Lyons. We'll obviously try to keep disruption to a minimum, but there is a lot of new devices to setup etc so please bear with us during this time. Have a good Winter Break/Christmas/New Year. We look forward to supporting all the awesome neuroscience you have planned in 2025!
