TLDR
This part of enabling technologies investigates current hardware techniques and their functionalities and provides a comparison between various products.Abstract:
The most valuable assets in every scientific community are the expert work force and the research results/data produced. The last decade has seen new experimental and computational techniques developing at an ever-faster pace, encouraging the production of ever-larger quantities of data in ever-shorter time spans. Concurrently the traditional scientific working environment has changed beyond recognition. Today scientists can use a wide spectrum of experimental, computational and analytical facilities, often widely distributed over the UK and Europe. In this environment new challenges are posed for the Management of Data every day, but are we ready to tackle them? Do we know exactly what the challenges are? Is the right technology available and is it applied where necessary?

The Southampton - East Anglia (Sea) Model: A General Purpose Parallel Ocean Circulation Model
TL;DR: The Southampton - East Anglia model has been developed and is suitable for running in a widerange of configurations, on a wide range of platforms; from scalar workstations to clusters of workst stations and massively parallel processor systems, rather than vector processors.
