Computing Facilities
In ILCC we have access to a range of different computing facilities run by the University, the School of Informatics, and individual researchers.
- Edinburgh Compute and Data Facilities include a large, managed cluster of more than 1,500 cores for computationally demanding research, along with dedicated storage services for large data sets.
-
- Some research groups also have their own dedicated computing facilities.
Laboratory Facilities
ILCC is located in the Informatics Forum, completed in 2008 as the new unified research home of the School of Informatics. The Informatics Forum houses a suite of state of the art laboratories for data collection and behavioral experiments. These labs are run jointly with the School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences and include:
The sound studio suite, which provides four highly configurable recording areas
that can be used independently or in combination with each other to
perform general audio recording, audio recording in hemi-anechoic
conditions, or audio recording in conjunction with eye-tracking or
electromagnetic articulography.
The perception lab suite, which provides two sets of four isolation booths
for perception experiments, including facilities for reaction time measurements and audio presentation and recording.
The joint eyetracking lab, housed within the sound
studios, which contains two head-mounted eye-trackers which can be used individually for reading or perception experiments, or jointly for studying dialogue, interaction, and collaboration.
The shape capture suite, which comprises of a high resolution static shape
capture system.
The instrumented meeting room, which is an informatics facility designed to accommodate the recording of multi-party meetings, using multiple audio and video channels as well as data projector, hand writing, and whiteboard capture.
