UK Consortium on Mesoscale Engineering Sciences (UKCOMES) was established in June 2013, supported by the EPSRC Grant No. EP/L00030X/1. It is one of seven high-end computing (HEC) consortia for science and engineering in the UK funded by the Research Councils.

EoCoE – Energy oriented Centre of Excellence for Computing Applications. At the crossroads of the energy and digital revolutions, EoCoE develops and applies cutting-edge computational methods in its mission to accelerate the transition to the production, storage and management of clean, decarbonized energy.

CHEESE – Center of Excellence in Solid Earth. The main objective of ChEESE is to establish a new Center of Excellence (CoE) in the domain of Solid Earth (SE) targeting the preparation of 10 Community flagship European codes for the upcoming pre-Exascale (2020) and Exascale (2022) supercomputers.

ESiWACE – Centre of Excellence in Simulation of Weather and Climate in Europe. The “Centre of Excellence in Simulation of Weather and Climate in Europe” has been funded by the European Commission to substantially improve efficiency and productivity of numerical weather and climate simulation and prepare them for future exascale systems. Overall, the Centre of Excellence prepares the European weather and climate community to make use of future exascale systems in a co-design effort involving modelling groups, computer scientists and HPC industry.

EXCELLERAT is a European Centre of Excellence for Engineering Applications. The Centre is an initiative of several European High Performance Computing Centres. EXCELLERAT offers cross-cutting support for various engineering sectors, like manufacturing, automotive, energy, aerospace, chemistry, biology and climate, enabling generic application support is a non-trivial task. Within the engineering sector we see specialisation on expertise, applications development, targeted training and offered hardware. We offer bundled expertise on various sectors as well as a tailored hardware infrastructure and a proprietary software stack, leading to substantial reduction of costs of operation.

E-CAM is a partnership of 16 CECAM (Centre Européen de Calcul Atomique et Moléculaire) nodes, 3 PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe) Centres, 12 industrial partners and 1 Centre for Industrial Computing (Hartree Centre for HPC in Industry).
E-CAM sits within the CECAM scientific community. CECAM (Centre Européen de Calcul Atomique and Moleculaire) was founded in Paris in 1969 by Dr. Carl Moser and is devoted to the promotion of fundamental research on advanced computational methods and to their application to important problems in frontier areas of science and technology. Today CECAM is structured as 18 trans European nodes (plus one node in Israel) with its headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Verified Exascale Computing for Multiscale Applications: The purpose of the VECMA project is to enable a diverse set of multiscale, multiphysics applications to run on current multi-petascale computers and emerging exascale environments with high fidelity such that their output is “actionable”. That is, the calculations and simulations are certifiable as validated (V), verified (V) and equipped with uncertainty quantification (UQ) by tight error bars such that they may be relied upon for making important decisions in all the domains of concern. The central deliverable is an open source toolkit for multiscale VVUQ based on generic multiscale VV and UQ primitives, to be released in stages over the lifetime of this project, fully tested and evaluated in emerging exascale environments, actively promoted over the lifetime of this project, and made widely available in European HPC centres.
