1. HPC Facilities for UK Theory
UKMHD Consortium
and
DIRAC resources

2. HPC – the story so far UKMHD Consortium (Dirac 1) – (2010)
Three machines at Warwick, Leeds and St Andrews
6,000 cores
52M core hours for theory simulations
Lifetime – 2016 or 2017 – still limping on!
Dirac 2 – Durham – 10.8M core hours for 2013
Dirac 2 – Durham, Leicester, Cambridge – 7.5M core hours for 2016
Similar time for 2017 and 2018
Reapplication for more Dirac 2 time for 2017 – awaiting outcome
Dirac 3 – Case made to BIS – been delayed until 2017
Issues – shortfall, PDRAs/resources, other?

3. HPC – Resources for Theory
1000^3 => 200Gb per snapshot. 200 per simulation => 40Tb per simulation.
Funding. £0.3M per year secures HPC for solar theory community.
