Introducing Wee Archie
Author: Alistair GrantPosted: 26 Nov 2015 | 15:29
The EPCC Outreach team is always looking for new ways to introduce supercomputing to a general audience. Remote connections to ARCHER could be used, but how would audiences know what is happening? Is it really running on a remote system or is it faked? Enter Wee Archie: a portable, functional cluster developed by EPCC to demonstrate applications and concepts relating to parallel systems.

Fortissimo Marketplace: open for business
Author: Mark SawyerPosted: 20 Nov 2015 | 11:13
EPCC leads the Fortissimo project, which lowers the barriers for industrial users to access HPC-based simulation by offering the benefits of the cloud computing model (such as pay-per-use), together with support for first-time users.
Getting hands-on with ExTASY
Author: Iain BethunePosted: 19 Nov 2015 | 11:11
One of the projects I'm currently leading at EPCC is ExTASY, which is building an 'Extensible Toolkit for Advanced Sampling and analYsis'. I've blogged in the past about the goals of the project, and the painful process leading up to our first public release. As the project is now well into its final year, we are turning our attention to community outreach - showing off what we have built to the biomolecular simulation community and getting their feedback.
