(foldoc) | University of London Computing Centre
ULCC
(ULCC) One of the UK's national high
performance computing centres. It provides networking
services and large-scale computing facilities which are used
by researchers from all over the UK.
ULCC was founded in 1968 to provide a service for education
and research. It has been at the forefront of advanced
research computing since its foundation, initially providing
large-scale CDC-based facilities, then from 1982 to 1991 a
national Cray vector supercomputing service. Its high
performance computing facilities are now centred on a 6
processor, 4 Gbyte Convex C3860 supercomputer (Neptune)
with a Convex C3200 front-end (Pluto).
ULCC is the main site for national and international network
connections in the UK. They run the {Network Operations and
Service Centre} for the JANET Internet Protocol Service
(JIPS), the largest of the JANET NOCs and various
international links and relays on behalf of UKERNA.
ULCC's pilot National Data Repository service provides a
network-accessible digital archive and filestore, based on a
robotic tape system with 6 terabytes of storage. Although the
data is stored on tape, you can access it very quickly, as if
it were on-line. It is made available to you via high-speed
links to the JANET and SuperJANET networks.
