High-Performance Computing Resources for Engineering and Physical Sciences Research

EPSRC is investing £26.25 million to fund high-performance compute resources for engineering and physical sciences research communities. This opportunity supports acquisition of CPU resources that address specific community computing needs or GPU architecture solutions for advanced computational research. Key requirements include: equipment must be purchased and operational by March 2027, awards provide up to four years of support, and applications should demonstrate alignment with identified research community priorities. Suppliers and institutions should highlight how proposed resources will enhance research capabilities, address computational bottlenecks, and deliver value to the EPSRC-supported research base. Successful applications will balance performance specifications, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of the computing infrastructure.
