CoSeC

The Computational Science Centre for Research Communities (CoSeC) supports a wide range of computational scientific and engineering communities, through software development, user support and training, and management of scientific data.

CoSeC supports the needs of certified computer professionals and high–end computing (HEC) communities, through:

Development of theory, algorithms and software, to support continued expansion and updates of software programs
Maintenance, distribution, license management, dissemination and demonstration of software
User support and training, including individual support and training, and event organisation support
Collaboration on scientific projects

Porting, optimisation and benchmarking for HPC and new architectures
Management of scientific data, including development of visualisation and workflow management tools, database curation and verification and validation activities
Co-ordination and networking support, and support for community activities including scientific and executive meetings and visitor programmes

“The CoSeC programme underpins a significant portion of the UK’s computational science activities, supporting new research and forming a focal point for computational science. As the programme paves the way for new developments, we’re working to drive new research for an exciting and transformational future.”

Dr. Stephen Longshaw, Director, CoSeC
