This summer we welcomed 15 undergraduate students to the second EPCC HPC Summer School. EPCC's David Henty and Catherine Inglis review our successful two-week programme: edin.ac/4xqlCcz
Students of EPCC's 2026 HPC Summer School were given a tour of our Advanced Computing Facility this week, learning about services such as @ARCHER2_HPC, the UK National Supercomputing Service.
Welcome to the 2026 cohort of EPCC HPC Summer School students!
Joining us from 9 universities around the UK, the students will spend the next 2 weeks learning the fundamentals of #HPC & software development best practices, then applying their new skills in real-world contexts.
