The aim of the UKHEC initiative is to investigate emerging areas
of computing and to inform and provide advice to the user
community in hardware and software developments, in new tools,
in best practice code development and in data management.
There are three centres supported under the EPSRC co-ordinated High End Computing (HEC) programme. The centres are:
- EPCC - Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre
- CLRC - Daresbury Laboratory
- MRCCS - Manchester Research Centre for Computational Science
In a related but separately-funded activity staff from these centres are also supporting e-Science projects throught the UK Grid Support Centre.
