It will put in place pan-Wales infrastructure\, interfaces\, expertise and training resources directed at enabling Welsh businesses and researchers to utilise High Performance Computing to deliver long-term competitive advantage and to create new products and services.\n \nOrganisational activities envisaged to accrue particular benefits from HPC include:\n\nModelling\nSimulations\nData storage & analysis\nData mining\n\n \nThe aims of this consultative workshop are:\n\nRaising awareness amongst prospective user organisations and discussing potential applications.\nDetermining how business will engage with and be part of the development of HPC Wales\, at both strategic and operational levels. HPC Wales will also be       looking for companies who will be early adopters of high performance computing to be used as case studies in future promotional activities.\nIdentifying the services which businesses will want and how to best approach them to market those services.\n\n \nPlaces are limited and will be allocated on a first-come\, first-served basis.\nYou can book with Claire at claire.lebrun@bic-innovation.com. A buffet lunch will be provided for all workshop participants.\n \nPlease note: This workshop will form an element of an ‘Advanced Manufacturing and ICT’ day at OpTIC Technium.
