EPCC at ISC 2017

Visit us at Booth B1223

We will participate in a number of events during the conference (see below), as well as hosting a booth on the exhibition floor. Come and find us to learn what we've been up to – and what's to come! 

EPCC hosts many of the UK’s national HPC and research data services, including ARCHER and the Research Data Facility. We’re also home to Cirrus, our new Tier-2 HPC service for science and industry. Together, our facilities and expertise make us the premiere industry HPC provider in Europe. 

Come and see us at ISC to learn more about:

• Our leadership of the Fortissimo project, helping the European manufacturing industry access on-demand HPC resources
• Our involvement in the Centres of Excellence initiative via BioExcel and CompBioMed, enabling use of HPC and HTC in life sciences
• Our push towards the exascale goal through FETHPC projects, including leadership of NEXTGenIO, ExaFLOW, and INTERTWinE 
• Our commitment to increasing diversity through founding the Women in HPC network.

Our mini supercomputer Wee Archie will be on our booth, and we’ll be talking about how we use it in our public outreach programme. You can also ask us about the training & education opportunities at EPCC, including our two MScs, online learning options, PhDs and training for industry.

Meet our team!

EPCC will be represented by: Nick Brown, Toni Collis, Manos Farsarakis, Paul Graham, Adrian Jackson, Mark Parsons, Colin Paul, Michèle Weiland, and Mirren White.
