Plasma HEC Consortium

The Plasma High-end Computing (HEC) Consortium is an EPSRC funded collaboration of UK plasma physics researchers. The Plasma HEC supports research in the simulation of high-temperature plasmas, including those plasmas of relevance to magnetic confinement fusion, laser-plasma interactions, and laser fusion energy. The software development includes a commitment to optimizing key codes, with input from EPCC, Daresbury and Warwick Computer Science, and developing new physics packages as required to maintain the UK’s role in laser-plasma physics and all approaches to fusion for energy. The consortium supports meetings and software development. It also manages a block allocation of national super-computer time to be used for plasma physics research.
