JISC = Part of UK Government supporting "Internet" (JANET) and related Infrastructure (not research) programs |
HE = Higher Education, NTI = New Technologies Initiative |
JISC NTI Program ran from mid 93 to mid 96 and included 8 HPCTE (High Performance Computing Training and Education) Programs and 6 cluster deployment projects (major follow up project in latter area) |
I reviewed Program for a week in December 96 |
Lessons are generally applicable |
Quite a lot of excellent HPCC Course Material Produced although not presented terribly well on the Web |
