• University of Manchester Computing Center Cray Superserver
  
• University of Southampton HPC Centre
  
• National Transputer Support Centre, Sheffield, UK
  A transfer-technology company specialising in the specification, design and implementation of parallel processing systems, in a wide range of areas of applicability. They also provide IT consultancy and training.
• Rutherford Appleton Laboratory
  Informatics Department including the UK Parallel Processing in Engineering Community Club (PPECC).
• Oxford University Programming Research Group (PRG)
  
• University of Westminster Centre for Parallel Computing
  
• University of Manchester Centre for Novel Computing (CNC)
  Active since November 1990 concentrating on shared address abstraction, in particular VSM. Also has projects in applications, compiler and OS development funded by EPSRC, Framework IV and industry.
• University of Warwick, High Performance Systems Group (HPSG)
  The group's principal activities focus on many aspects of high performance computing, including: the development of performance analysis techniques and tools, the utilisation of performance prediction methodologies to optimise industrial strength applications (e.g. financial, visualisation), the development of novel architectures for computationally intensive applications.

  The group is funded by DARPA/ITO to develop performance prediction and analysis tools for high performance systems (PACE). Other projects are funded by EPSRC/SERC, EU ESPRIT, MOD and the DOD.

• Daresbury Laboratory
  Involved in Parallel Tools and Algorithms for HPC as well as other more general computing activities.
• Scotland HPC Training and Education Centre
  This is at EPCC, Edinburgh (above)
• Edinburgh Parallel Computing Center (EPCC)
  Contains a large proportion of the UK's national HPC resources such as the new Cray T3D and a large staff of researchers. Commercial and consultancy work is also done. [Scottish regional HPC centre]
• Internet Parallel Computing Archive (IPCA)
  At the WoTUG at the University of Kent at Canterbury
• Manchester and North HPC Training and Education Centre
  
• High Performance Computing (HPC) Teaching and Training Centres
  
• University of Liverpool High Performance Computing Projects
  Information on Fortran 90 course development and the FAR project. The FAR project has developed a software tool to facilitate the exploitation of idle time in networks of workstations and manage the problems associated with using configured groups of workstations as loosely-coupled, distributed-memory hypercomputers in a general computing service environment.
• London Parallel Applications Centre
  Consults in HPC. Part of SEL-HPC.
• London and South East Centre for HPC (SEL-HPC)
  Also including the HPC Article Archive
• Partnership in Advanced Computing Technologies (PACT)
  A collaboration between Inmos and the Science Research Foundation (SRF). SRF is a research organisation that encompasses three local Universities: Bristol, Bath and the West of England. Also known as SRF-PACT.
