IBM eServer p5 575 computer cluster, of the type used in HPCx

HPCx was a supercomputer (actually a cluster of IBM eServer p5 575 high-performance servers) located at the Daresbury Laboratory in Cheshire, England. The supercomputer was maintained by the HPCx Consortium, UoE HPCX Ltd, which was led by the University of Edinburgh: EPCC, with the Science and Technology Facilities Council and IBM. The project was funded by EPSRC.

The HPCx was the flagship UK academic supercomputer from its creation in December 2002, to 2007 when the larger HECToR system was installed. The HPCx service ended in January 2010.
