Over the past decade high performance computing has demonstrated
the ability to model and predict accurately a wide range of
physical properties and phenomena. Many of these have had an
important impact in contributing to wealth creation and improving
the quality of life through the development of new products and
processes with greater efficacy, efficiency or reduced harmful side
effects, and in contributing to our ability to understand and
describe the world around us. Following a survey ofthe U.K.'s
urgent need for a supercomputingfacility for aca demic research
(see next chapter), a 256-processor T3D system from Cray Research
Inc. went into operation at the University of Edinburgh in the
summer of 1994. The High Performance Computing Initiative, HPCI,
was established in November 1994 to support and ensure the
efficient and effective exploitation of the T3D (and future gen
erations of HPC systems) by a number of consortia working in the
"frontier" areas of computational research. The Cray T3D, now
comprising 512 processors and total of 32 CB memory, represented a
very significant increase in computing power, allowing simulations
to move forward on a number offronts. The three-fold aims of the
HPCI may be summarised as follows; (1) to seek and maintain a world
class position incomputational scienceand engineering, (2) to
support and promote exploitation of HPC in industry, commerce and
business, and (3) to support education and training in HPC and its
application.
