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, HPE and University of York Research Software Engineers, 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.
