The ASTUTE 2020 (Advanced Sustainable Manufacturing Technologies) operation supports industrial Research, Development and Innovation. It is led by Swansea University along with the universities of Cardiff, Aberystwyth and Wales Trinity Saint David. The College of Engineering at Swansea tendered for a £0.5m system to enable the ASTUTE 2020 research team to achieve the best possible computational engineering solutions.
Established in 1907, Imperial College London is a research university focussing upon science, engineering, business, and medicine. Since Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert, first set out his vision to enhance South Kensington culture, taking in the Royal Albert Hall, museums and a collection of colleges that would eventually form Imperial, the university has gained an enviable reputation globally for scientific learning, and research.
Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU), a leading UK university recognised for its multi-disciplinary research and commitment to innovation, sought to expand its high-performance computing capabilities to meet the growing demands of data-intensive research, foster cross-departmental collaboration, and empower students and faculty to pursue cutting-edge projects.
The University of Hull has a reputation as one of Britain’s finest teaching institutions and as a producer of world class research. In 2014, the university decided it needed a High Performance Computing (HPC) solution to support its research work, encourage research investment and position the university as a globally competitive place for researchers to undertake their projects
King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST) is a world-leading graduate research university based in Saudi Arabia. During 2014, it undertook the Shaheen II project to purchase a new $60m supercomputer – the most powerful HPC in the Middle East.
UK universities and research institutions have built an enviable reputation over many years for helping to inform the development of countless industries, from genomics to nuclear, and AI to automotive engineering and design. It’s where so many bright ideas are turned into economic reality.
UK universities are pivotal to the UK’s research industry, providing innovation to a whole host of sectors. Supercomputers and high performance computing (HPC) has fed into this innovation for decades. However, worrying trends recently suggest an exodus of talent and the search for new horizons in other sectors of industry
Why AI’s Greatest Scientific Gift May Be “Filling in the Gaps” When people imagine artificial intelligence reshaping science, they often picture something dramatic: an AI discovering the cure for cancer outright, solving the question of dark matter, or unifying the laws of physics in a single stroke. These fantasies make for catchy headlines, but in … Read more
The Transformative Impact of High-Performance Computing (HPC) in Academia High-Performance Computing (HPC) has become a pivotal force reshaping scientific research and academic discovery. From advancing climate modelling to accelerating drug development, HPC is no longer just a technical resource; it is a strategic enabler for innovation and global collaboration. Why HPC Matters More Than Ever … Read more
Introduction It’s mid-2013 and I have just graduated with a physics degree. I really enjoyed the theoretical component, but the computational and experimental labs were rather uninspiring. I still wanted to do something more practical, with foreseeable benefits, but I was also afraid of specialising myself into oblivion. A few months of speculative emails and … Read more
