Preparing for ARCHER2
Cray Compilation Environment Update and modern Fortran
Virtual Tutorial, Wednesday 5th February 15:00
Harvey Richardson, CRAY
This webinar will outline some new developments in the Cray Programming Environment and
will then focus on presenting examples of the latest features from Fortran 2018 that are
supported by the Cray Fortran compiler. Note that these developments are not available
on ARCHER today but this webinar should prove useful to people who have access to other
Cray systems or who are planning to use the next national supercomputing service that will follow on from ARCHER.
HPC Champions
The next meeting of the HPC Champions will be collocated with HPC-SIG in Bath on Wednesday 26th February.
Please register now at to attend the event
Items will include the new and existing Tier2 sites, ARCHER2 and discussion based around a UK wide HPC knowledge base.

- Technical support to help you make best use of the HPC systems.
- Collaborative environment with an expert in your field of research.
Who can apply?
- Researchers of all levels, from postgraduate to full professors.
- Researchers from academia or industry.
- Researchers currently working in a European Union country or Associated State (see http://bit.ly/AssociatedStates for full list of Associated States).
- Researchers may not visit a group in the country where they currently work.
- A small number of places are available for researchers working outside these countries - please contact [email protected] for more information.
