         ulcc one of the uk's national high
        performance computing centres.  it provides networking
        services and large-scale computing facilities which are used
        by researchers from all over the uk.
     
        ulcc was founded in 1968 to provide a service for education
        and research.  it has been at the forefront of advanced
        research computing since its foundation, initially providing
        large-scale cdc-based facilities, then from 1982 to 1991 a
        national cray vector supercomputing service.  its high
        performance computing facilities are now centred on a 6
        processor, 4 gbyte convex c3860 supercomputer neptune
        with a convex c3200 front-end pluto.
     
        ulcc is the main site for national and international network
        connections in the uk.  they run the network operations and
        service centre for the janet internet protocol service
        jips, the largest of the janet nocs and various
        international links and relays on behalf of ukerna.
     
        ulcc's pilot national data repository service provides a
        network-accessible digital archive and filestore, based on a
        robotic tape system with 6 terabytes of storage.  although the
        data is stored on tape, you can access it very quickly, as if
        it were on-line.  it is made available to you via high-speed
        links to the janet and superjanet networks.
