Each year the ARCHER2 Celebration of Science brings together the user community to celebrate their scientific achievements on ARCHER2, the UK’s National High Performance Computing Service, which is operated by EPCC.
Last month we were delighted to welcome over 120 attendees from academia and industry to Edinburgh for the third annual event, alongside the Day 0 workshop.
The UK’s national supercomputer has delivered an eightfold return on investment to the economy, a report reveals.
Independent analysis of the economic impact of ARCHER2, hosted by EPCC at the University, shows it has enabled more than £4.2bn in benefits to the UK economy over its five-year operational period.
This is equivalent to a return of £8.30 for every £1 of public funding since launching in 2021 when compared to costs of £100m to build the supercomputer and £400m of research funding.
The ARCHER2 Service is a world class advanced computing resource for UK researchers. ARCHER2 is provided by UKRI, EPCC, HPE Cray and the University of Edinburgh.
