TheUniversity of London Computer Centre (ULCC) was founded in 1968, and was the firstsupercomputer facility established in London for the purpose of scientific and educational research by all of the colleges of theUniversity of London.
ULCC initially provided large-scaleCDC-based facilities, then from 1982 to 1991 a nationalCray vector supercomputing service, and more recently a six processor, 4GbConvex C3860 supercomputer with a Convex C3200 front-end.
ULCC also became a major site for national and international network connections in the UK.[1] It ran the Network Operations and Service Centre for theJANETInternet Protocol Service (JIPS), the largest of the JANET network centres, and various international links and relays on behalf ofUKERNA.
Since the closure of its supercomputer service in the 1990s, ULCC has focused on providing IT services across the educational and public sector, as well as undertaking research work in fields such asdigital preservation ande-learning.
In 2009, after 40 years, ULCC moved out of its premises at 20 Guilford Street, which were custom built in the 1960s to house some of the earliest supercomputers in the UK. It is now based within the central university at Senate House.
In 2015 ULCC became part ofCoSector - University of London.
