Final comments The software area is huge We have challenges in The next few years are going to be very exciting in HPC eDIKT 2010 Questions? eDIKT 2010 * eDIKT 2010 Dr Mark Parsons Commercial Director, EPCC m.parsons@epcc.ed.ac.uk +44 131 650 5022 eDIKT 2010 eDIKT 2010 eDIKT 2010 eDIKT 2010 eDIKT 2010 eDIKT 2010 eDIKT 2010 eDIKT 2010 eDIKT 2010 eDIKT 2010 eDIKT 2010 Advanced Engineering Simulation and its future at EPCC Mark Parsons, EPCC Outline Introduction to the EPCC Industry Hub Recent advanced engineering simulation projects Challenges facing simulation in the next decade eDIKT 2010 EPCC in 2010 Supercomputing Centre at The University of Edinburgh 20 years old 75 staff highly experienced wide range of skills Multidisciplinary Multi-funded turnover ￡4.5 million 95% from external sources 50% of turnover involves industry Provides National HPC services HECToR is hosted at Advanced Computing Facility eDIKT 2010 EPCC Industry Hub Cycles, Software and Skills One stop shop for industrysupercomputing Unique range of services Cycles – provision of compute and data resources Software – provision of simulation and bespoke applications to meet industry challenges Skills – understanding industry problems and finding solutions Benefits Scotland – supporting local industry – creating jobs and growth Inward investment – attracting companies eg. Xilinx, Cray International leadership – worldwide research collaborations Creating an important facility where we work together with end-user companies and leading HPC hardware and software vendors eDIKT 2010 HPC Adopter Programme Too few companies benefit from modelling and simulation Big hurdles to overcome for the new HPC user Even for high-tech companies HPC Adopter Programme is designed to tackle this Initial small 2-4 month projects designed to introduce companies to benefits of HPC Initial access to HECToR and other HPC systems donated by EPCC Companies pay for staff
