The Southampton Regional e-Science Centre is based in the School of Engineering Science alongside the Computational Engineering and Design Centre (CEDC) and the Southampton arm of the BAE SYSTEMS - Rolls-Royce University Technology Partnership for Design.

While the primary focus of the Centre is on problems in the domain of engineering, it has over the years established very close relationships with a broad range of disciplines, institutions, and industrial partners.

The Southampton Centre is housed in a dedicated building (Building 25) which has undergone extensive refurbishment. It has access to a number of computational facilities including SGI Origin 2000, large scale Condor pools and numerous Linux clusters, including the University's new 600 node AMD64 IridisII cluster and the National Grid Service.

Within the centre, multi-platform development, build and test facilities support the software engineering activities while our e-Science heritage provides the expertise and services such as the Access Grid equipped video conferencing suite to facilitate large scale, distributed projects.

The centre is able to make its services and facilities available under a wide range of models from collaborative research to consultancy as part of RIfI.
