How Fast is My Supercomputer?

How Fast is My Supercomputer?

Application benchmarking is a crucial activity in the UK’s path to Exascale, ensuring future systems are understood so that scientific applications can take advantage of the new opportunities offered.

Hospital bed management

We have developed a system that helps us estimatehow many beds are needed 8 hours ahead of time, by incorporating live data from emergency departments. The real-time data flows provided by EMAP were crucial for Dr Zella King’s work helping UCLH staff to manage the flow of patients through hospital, which won the Healthcare Partnership of the Year category at the London Higher Awards 2024.

k-Plan now available to researchers


Clinical support software for ultrasound treatment of neurological diseases this is the first "HPC-as-a- service" software to enable clinical staff to run simulations of ultrasound treatments. One of ARC’s longest-running collaborations is with the Biomedical Ultrasound Group. Over the past three years, we’ve been developing a graphical user interface to simulate ultrasound treatment plans!

Simulation software advancing the discovery of new catalysts

Prof Michail Stamatakis from UCL Chemical Engineering developed Zacros to simulate molecular phenomena on catalytic surfaces, but the code needed further work to run effectively on HPC platforms.

Electronic Health Records at your Fingertips

Among other things, the emergence of Artificial Intelligence means we need live health record data suitable for use in both research and clinical applications.
