The SES Consortium will develop three facilities: Peta1, led by the University of Cambridge, a multi-disciplinary facility providing large-scale data simulation and high performance data analytics; the Materials and Molecular Modelling (MMM) Hub2, led by University College London; and JADE3, the Joint Academic Data Science Endeavour led by the University of Oxford, a 5 Petaflop national GPU facility, to be the largest in the UK, with a focus on machine learning, image/video/audio analysis, and molecular dynamics.
SES members King’s College London, Imperial College London, and University of Southampton have collectively contributed to all three of the new facilities.
Professor Mark Spearing from the University of Southampton said: “The University uses high performance and data intensive computing to develop medicines, design airplanes, and understand social science, fundamental physics and molecular scale chemistry in partnership with industry. This resource will accelerate the work of our scientists and engineers.”
