Investment across HPC Centres to Boost Industry and Research Capability
Mar 29 2020
Seven High Performance Computing (HPC) centres are to receive a share of £27 million announced with the backing of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) will be supporting one of the services by investing £3 million alongside the Medical Research Council, Health Data Research UK and UK Atomic Energy Authority (Culham Centre for Fusion Energy).
The JADE-2 service, hosted at STFC’s Hartree Centre, will be one of the seven benefiting centres. This new funding will give researchers invaluable access to powerful systems to support ground-breaking work in areas ranging from Artificial Intelligence (AI), energy storage and supply and therapeutic drug design.
Head of Service Operations at the Hartree Centre, Dave Cable said:
“We’re pleased to be supporting a wide range of scientific fields and industry sectors by hosting JADE-2 at the Hartree Centre. In addition to supporting Research Software Engineers across a wide range of applications, operating the JADE-2 service at the Hartree Centre will make a portion of this exciting system available to commercial businesses to further their industrial innovation.”
As well as providing new advanced computing hardware across a wide range of industry sectors, the funding will support the development of research computing skills, including boosting the careers of Research Software Engineers across the UK.
