Part of a major collaboration project to develop world-class, extreme-scale computing capabilities for European operational numerical weather prediction (Project ESCAPE)
Led by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and involving 10 other organisations
An exascale HPC system using Optalysys technology that can run the next generation of numerical weather prediction algorithms in an energy-efficient way
Successfully awarded a €4m grant by the European Commission through its Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme.
Started 1st October 2015
