The UK has provided a succession of increasingly powerful high-performance computing facilities for UK researchers for many years. Do recent developments in AI change what researchers might need in terms of high performance computing? What are the implications of any future provision of exascale computing of expected developments in quantum computing? And how can the environmental impact of exascale computing be reduced? As decisions on new investments in high performance computing come due, these are some of the issues we hope to explore in this event being organised by the Foundation for Science and Technology. This event is being held in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh, which is the home of UK national high performance computing research systems such as ARCHER2, Cirrus and DiRAC-Tursa.
The in-erson event will be held in the Bayes Centre, University of Edinburgh, 47 Potterrow, Edinburgh EH8 9BT.
