        Renabling GPU queue for QMUL
        https://atlas-cric.cern.ch/atlas/pandaqueue/detail/ANALY_QMUL_GPU/

        while 'analysis facilities' definition for HL-LHC is still being defined and there is R&D going on in some places, we would like to understand what is already on the ground for analysts. In particular local or national resources, batch systems, notebooks, type of access, containers, k8s, dask, authz integration connection to tier2s and also R&D work if ongoing with the evolution of the analysis towards the columnar analysis and machine learning techniques. Feel free also to put also how you see things evolving.

        This will be useful information in general to understand the status and it will be used also for the ATLAS talk GDB in January on Analysis Facilities as well as to plan the S&C session in February.
