Increase Your Productivity Using High Performance ComputingThe Benefits of Supercomputing for Industry and Research in the West of Scotland

Wednesday, 6th May 2015, 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Registration from 12:00 pm

Recent 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.


Who should attend?

  • Computational Fluid Dynamics

  • Finite Element Analysis

  • Data analysis

  • Statistical analysis

  • Molecular dynamics calculations

  • Drug discovery

  • DNA analysis

  • Bioinformatics

Benefits of attending

  • Find out the type of computing that can be conducted at the ARCHIE-WeSt Supercomputer Centre

  • Obtain an overview of the software that can be run on ARCHIE-WeSt

  • Discover the benefits of using Open Source software
