UKMHD Consortium Support
Lead Research Organisation:
University of St Andrews
Department Name: Mathematics and Statistics
Abstract
Parallel computing has revolutionised the way in which we can now model various MHD phenomena. The UK MHD Consortium has an excellent track record in this area. PPARC has funded parallel computing facilities at Exeter and St Andrews for the benefit of UK MHD researchers. This support has enabled St Andrews to lever additional funding, through SRIF, to build a world-class parallel computing facility, allowing PPARC MHD researchers access to even better resources. This application is for support for the System Manager to ensure the smooth running of the parallel computer.
