High Performance Computing Wales (HPC Wales) is a £44million five year project to provide Wales with a world class facility in High Performance Computing, accessible to both academic and commercial organisations based in Wales. HPC Wales will give Wales a supercomputing capacity and network at a scale not attempted anywhere else in the UK or Europe.
HPC Wales will invest in state-of-the-art computing technology, infrastructure and facilities on a pan-Wales basis, high level skills development and training. It is estimated that the project will result in the creation of over 400jobs.
The project is financially supported by:[1]
- £19m from ERDF and ESF European funds channelled through WEFO
- £10m from the UK Department for Business, Innovation and Skills
- £4m from collaborating academic institutions
- £5m from the Welsh Assembly Government
- £2m private sector and research income
Announced in December 2009 by then Welsh Secretary Peter Hain,[2] the project was formally launched in July 2010.
