High Performance Computing at Plymouth
Welcome to the University of Plymouth High Performance Computing Centre.
This facility is an interdisciplinary, shared campus resource for scientific computing and research on parallel algorithms.
More than 50 staff, researchers and students across a variety of departments use this HPC.
Information is accessible using the links from the menu system and is designed to help users, by informing them about the available resources on campus.
At the University of Plymouth, high-performance computing (HPC) is providing researchers with the resources they need to answer complex questions in science, engineering and mathematics.
Researchers from the Peninsula Research Institute in Marine Renewable Energy (PRIMaRE) - a collaboration between researchers from Plymouth and Exeter universities and the Coastal Engineering Research Group - a leading team of coastal engineers - use the HPC to find new energy solutions that capitalise on the tremendous power of ocean waves.
Meanwhile, researchers from the UK Quantum Chromodynamics (UKQCD) Collaboration use the HPC to study the interactions among subatomic particles such as quarks and gluons. HPC resources help this consortium of research groups from Plymouth, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Oxford, Southampton, and Swansea universities to study the behaviour of matter in extreme conditions, such as in the first instants after the Big Bang or at the core of a neutron star.
