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. ^[1]

The HPCx was the flagship UK academic supercomputer from its creation in December 2002, to 2007 when the larger HECToR system was installed.^[2] The HPCx service ended in January 2010.
