Value proposition

We provide supercomputing and data services to industry and academia.

Based in the University of Edinburgh, EPCC provides supercomputing and data services to industry and academia. We have a long track record of working with industry, leveraging our expertise and facilities to accelerate the adoption and spread the benefits of high performance computing.

At our Advanced Computing Facility (ACF), we host and operate a remarkable collection of high performance computing and data services, including ARCHER2, the UK’s national supercomputing service, and the Edinburgh International Data Facility.

We are a leading provider of high performance computing and data science education and training, and run two established Masters programmes, which offer both on-campus and online study. We also offer opportunities for doctoral (PhD) study in areas related to high performance computing, computational science, data science, software engineering and sustainability, and parallelism among others.

EPCC conducts research at the leading edge of high performance computing and data science in areas including application performance optimisation and development, parallel programming models, and parallel I/O performance.

Since our inception in 1990, we have gained an enviable reputation for leading-edge capability in all aspects of HPC, data and novel computing. Our skill set extends beyond our 130 staff to embrace world-class multi-disciplinary capabilities, reinforced by deep ties with industry and academia.
