Advanced Dynamic Energy Pricing and Tariffs (ADEPT)

The aim of ADEPT is to find the most appropriate level of complexity of dynamic electricity tariffs, the impact on consumers and distribution network operators, and the trade-offs which offer quantifiable benefits to both. The measures tested will include both technical (what can be identified within the real-time data set) and the social (what is the most complicated real-time pricing tariff that a consumer will accept, in given conditions for controlling usage?).

ARTEMIS

ARTEMIS stands for Advanced Radio Transient Event Monitor and Identification System. It is a project that is based on a versatile CPU-GPU telescope backend for processing of time-series data in radio astronomy.

ASEArch

Algorithms and Software for Emerging Architectures (ASEArch) is a new EPSRC-funded Collaborative Computational Project (CCP). Its aim is to investigate the use of novel architectures such as NVIDIA GPUs, and Intel's Many Integrated Core (MIC) acclerators, and assist other application CCPs in adopting this technology, where appropriate.

ClimatePrediction.net

Performed the world’s first probabilistic £300K* forecast of anthropogenic climate change by distributing screen saver software to businesses and the general public which will perform pre-packaged models of a 100-year simulation 1950-2050. Visit the ClimatePrediction website

Cluster of Research Infrastructures and Synergies in Physics (CRISP)

The purpose of this project is to create synergies and develop common solutions for an initial group of eleven ESFRI-PPs (European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructure preparatory phase) projects in the field of Physics, Astronomy, and Analytical Facilities. Its ultimate aim is to supply the best service to the rapidly growing and largely diversified user community, and to ensure that the large investments made at the national and international levels result in significant progress in science. e-Research Centre participation is to represent the SKA project within the consortia, specifically with work on ICT infrastructure and DAQ systems.

e-Research South

e-Research South aims to create a sustainable research platform across participating organisations and their collaborators by applying innovative computing technology to interdisciplinary problems of increasing scale and complexity.

Energy-Efficient and Energy-Aware Computing

Research into theory, techniques, software and tools for creating energy-efficient and energy-aware high-performance algorithms and software.

Flamingo

Flamingo is a general-purpose auto-tuning framework for software optimisation. The software automates the process of finding optimal settings for program parameters, even reducing the number of tests needed. Flamingo began as a third year undergraduate project, and was then further developed with funding from an EPSRC vacation bursary.
