It is predicted that the gap between supply and demand of skilled staff will continue to grow. Despite the face that…

As proud members of the European HPC community, I think it’s safe to say our efforts to achieve a world-class extreme scale, power-efficient and resilient HPC platform are ambitious. We’re working towards a machine that can scale to 100 petaflops. This three and a half year, 20 million euro Horizon2020 funded project has been designed…

The second in a series of blog posts from Dave Cable, Head of Service Operations here at The Hartree Centre, gives us an introduction to Service Operation, the primary interface for service delivery with customers.
