<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Jon Gibson of NAG will discuss the HECToR service and what it offers the UK research community. As well as describing the hardware, he will explain the application process and the support and training available to users. He will provide specific examples of how NAG, who provide the Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) support for HECToR, work with HECToR's users to improve the performance of their codes. He will focus particularly on the project "Cloud and Aerosol Research on Massively-Parallel Architectures", which he is currently working on.</FONT></P>
