EPCC

EPCC is one of Europe's premier High Performance Computing (HPC) centres. Based at the University of Edinburgh EPCC was founded in 1990, since its inception, EPCC has acted as a focal point for expertise in high performance and novel computing, and more recently in Big Data and High Performance Data Analytics (HPDA). The Centre is built on three key foundations: the hosting, provision and management of high performance computing (HPC) and data facilities for British and European academia and business; research and consultancy to support the computing activities of those organisations; and a unique project-based consultancy activity that provides bespoke novel and high performance software solutions to academia, industry and commerce.
