ExCALIBUR Programme
The ExCALIBUR (Exascale Computing: ALgorithms and Infrastructures Benefiting UK Research) Programme ran from October 2023 to March 2025.
The Exascale Computing ALgorithms & Infrastructures Benefiting UK Research (ExCALIBUR) programme aimed to deliver the next generation of high-performance simulation software for the highest-priority fields in UK research.
The £47.5m programme under the Strategic Priorities Fund ran between October 2019 and March 2025. It involved redesigning high priority computer codes and algorithms to meet the demands of both advancing technology and UK research.
ExCALIBUR was led by the Met Office and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), along with the Public Sector Research Establishment, the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) research councils, including the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the Science and Technologies Facilities Council (STFC).
