> home > about HPCx Consortium The HPCx Consortium The HPCx Consortium, namely UoE HPCX Ltd, is led by the University of Edinburgh, with the Science & Technology Facilities Council and IBM. The project is funded by EPSRC EPCC, which will provide the University of Edinburgh contribution, has a long experience of national HPC services. It provided the T3D/T3E service from 1994 to 2001, and before that, services on a Thinking Machines CM200, and Meiko Computing Surfaces. It continues to be a major centre for HPC support and training. EPCC is currently accepting applications for its EPSRC-funded MSc in HPC. The Computational Science and Engineering Department at STFC Daresbury Laboratory has for many years worked closely with research groups throughout the UK through many projects, including EPSRC's Collaborative Computational Projects, and has unmatched expertise in porting and optimising large scientific codes. The partners see the HPCX service as a natural development of their experience into the future.
