Registration from 12:00 pmRecent government reports have concluded that High Performance Computing has the potential to add 3% to national GDP. The realisation that “whoever outcomputes will outcompete” has led the UK government to invest in Supercomputing Centres such as ARCHIE-WeSt at the University of Strathclyde.
The productivity of SMEs and research organisations can be significantly enhanced by using supercomputer technologies for data analysis, large-scale modelling and optimization of work-flows. ARCHIE-WeSt offers considerable capacity, both in terms of computational power and throughput, which has the potential to produce a transformation in performance even for SMEs with modest computational needs. This event will provide an overview of what ARCHIE-WeSt can offer.
The event starts with a networking lunch at 12.00pm in the McCance Conservatory on Level 3.
