POP (Performance Optimisation and Productivity) is an EU Centre of Excellence focussed on improving the performance of parallel codes. Our analysts profile the performance of such codes and identify ways in which they can be improved. In many cases, we write codes to demonstrate those improvements in performance. These services are free throughout the EU and UK.

While we welcome many customers from large industry and academia, we are particularly interested in offering our services to SMEs. In this thirty-minute live webinar, you will hear from three speakers from SMEs who have worked, or are currently working, with POP. They will describe the business they are in, the importance of HPC to it and what they have gained from their relationship with the POP service. The discussion will then be opened up to cover various aspects of HPC support for SMEs. Attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions to the speakers.
