Driving UK HPC enabled science and innovation through US collaborations

该网络旨在通过改善英国社区与美国高性能计算社区的接触，提高英国高性能计算（HPC）使科学和创新的竞争力。目标包括与重点关注高性能计算的美国网络和项目的协调员建立联系，包括：XSEDE（极端科学与工程发现环境）；INCITE（对理论和实验的创新和新颖计算影响）；学术科学计算联盟（CASC）。该网络将以以下形式确定国际合作的机会：合作研究项目，特别是那些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；还有培训项目。这可以通过SC'13（超级计算大会2013）有效地完成，这是今年的顶级高性能计算活动；并将由所有涉及高性能计算的重点机构和行业参加。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高性能计算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，将在英国组织一个英国研讨会，汇集英国学术界，工业界和来自美国的特邀演讲者，传播经验教训和发展机会。

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.
