UK HPC Skills Survey

EPSRC have recently launched a survey open to all HPC users regardless of funding body, to try and understand the range of skills across the UK HPC community and the training needed to fill those skills gaps. If you use the local CSF, N8 HPC, ARCHER or any non-desktop system then read on!


They would like to know more about the community of UK-based researchers who use high performance computing or data analytics (HPC) as part of their work. For the survey the term “HPC” is meant to refer to all types of large-scale computing, from traditional HPC for simulations and modelling to high throughput and data-intensive science applications.

The survey can be found at and will take no more than 10 minutes to complete. The data collected will remain anonymous with only the resulting report and recommendations, with aggregate data, being made public. The closing date for the survey is the 1st September.
