Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre is coordinating an EC-funded
project to bring European researchers for short visits to associated
departments in Edinburgh to collaborate on projects involving High
Performance Computing (HPC). 

TRACS provides:

  * opportunities to visit and work in Edinburgh 

  * access to a wide range of HPC systems, including 

        + Cray T3D (320 alphas)
	+ Thinking Machines CM-200
        + a range of Meiko Computing Surfaces
        + Sun/SGI Workstation cluster

  * training, support and consultancy on parallel computing

  * accommodation, travel and subsistence expenses

TRACS is open to both academic and industrial researchers resident in EC
countries and in countries which are EEA signatories (Finland, Norway
and Iceland).  For more information on EPCC and the TRACS programme, see
