2 Computing Advisory Panel
The purpose of the Computing Advisory Panel (CAP) is to advise the STFC Executive on the strategy for, and management of, provision for computing resources (including data handling, data storage, software and hard provisions, skills, and developments in high performance and high throughput computing) in support of programmes either funded or delivered by STFC. 21/12/2016 A.
