Driving UK HPC enabled science and innovation through US collaborations

该网络旨在通过提高英国社区与美国HPC社区的参与度，提高英国高性能计算（HPC）支持科学和创新的竞争力。目标包括与主要HPC重点美国网络和计划的协调员建立联系，包括：XSEDE（极端科学和工程发现环境）; INCITE（创新和新颖的计算对理论和实验的影响）;和CASC（学术科学计算联盟）。该网络将以以下形式确定国际合作的机会：合作研究项目，特别是具有开源和开放创新组件的项目;获得领先的超级计算资源;以及培训计划。这可以通过SC'13（2013年超级计算大会）有效地完成，这是今年的顶级HPC活动;所有涉及HPC的关键机构和行业都将参加。该网络还将为SC'13提供大量的旅行奖励，重点是支持早期职业研究人员。随后，该网络将专注于提高英国HPC社区对与美国合作机会的认识。这将通过使用社交媒体持续进行。此外，还将在英国举办一个英国研讨会，汇集英国学术界、工业界和来自美国的特邀演讲者，传播经验教训，创造机会。

The network aims to increase the competitiveness of UK high performance computing (HPC) enabled science and innovation by improve the UK's community's engagement with US HPC community. Objectives include establishing links with the coordinators of key HPC focused US networks and programs, including: XSEDE (Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment); INCITE (Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment); and CASC (Coalition for Academic Scientific Computation). The network will identify opportunities for international collaboration in form of: collaborative research projects, particularly those with Open Source and Open Innovation components; access to leading supercomputing resources; and training programs. This can be done efficiently through SC'13 (Supercomputing Conference 2013) which is the top HPC event of the year; and will be attended by all the key institutes and industries involved in HPC. The network will also offer a significant number of travel awards to SC'13 with an emphasis on supporting early career researchers. Subsequently, the network will focus on raising awareness among the UK HPC community of the opportunities available for collaboration with the US. This will be done continuously through the use of social media. In addition, a UK workshop will be organised in the UK to bring together UK academia, industry and invited speakers from the US to disseminate lessons learned and develop opportunities.
