Our focus is on delivering client advantage through a portfolio of industry-leading services and expertise. Our Applications Group comprises  over 90 software developers, computer scientists, data engineers, and data scientists who are available to work on short-term and long-term engagements in areas such as software development, architecture optimisation, data management, machine learning and many others 

Software expertise

Our expertise in Parallel and Distributed Computing (using MPI, OpenMP and web services) is internationally recognised and our software developers program on Linux, Windows, and in various Unix environments using .NET, Fortran, C, C++, Java, XML, Perl, Python, R and numerous other languages. Our collaborations span many industry sectors including but not limited to Life Sciences, Energy, Manufacturing, and Automotive and we have expertise in both novel & traditional computing systems including Cloud Computing, FPGAs, GPUs, Quantum Computing, and large-scale traditional HPC.  

Working in partnership

In addition, we have great in-depth experience of bidding for and leading complex research projects involving multiple partners, and in supporting consortium bids by providing HPC and Data Science expertise and access to HPC facilities.  

For example, the ASiMov consortium led by Rolls-Royce and EPCC, which was awarded £14.7m to develop the next-generation of engineering simulation and modelling techniques. See https://bit.ly/3Q4OC3H 

We have worked with the UK Met Office to develop MONC, its new atmospheric model, which is now routinely used across the UK and globally. There have been numerous scientific discoveries made with MONC that would have been untenable with previous-generation models. See https://bit.ly/3Q9zBxO 

Computing resources

EPCC is home to a unique and growing collection of data and supercomputing resources that are available for use by industry, including advanced AI systems, national supercomputing services, and the Edinburgh International Data Facility, all backed by our world-leading expertise.
