The tender, with the title "Advanced Referent Model Procurement," is currently in the active stage and has a total value of £189,000. The procurement process aims to address radical changes in supercomputer architectures to enhance performance and energy efficiency. The contract period is scheduled from September 5, 2022, to February 15, 2024, with a submission deadline of June 17, 2022. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in software development, experimental development, and research and development services to compete and contribute to the redesign of simulation codes for future supercomputers. Companies focusing on technology and innovation, particularly in the fields of software development and supercomputing, are well-suited to engage with this tender. The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is seeking suppliers who can provide high-quality solutions to meet the evolving computational challenges in the scientific community. ## Notice Radical changes to supercomputer architectures are on the horizon. The current simulation codes, that much of UK science relies upon, are designed for current supercomputer architectures. These codes will, at best, not be able to fully exploit the power that the supercomputers of the mid-2020s will deliver; at worst, they will run slower on those machines than they do now. Future computers will be more energy efficient and so the longer we rely upon the current approach, the more expensive the solution will be. Therefore, it is essential that we invest now in redesigning those simulation codes so that they perform well on the future generations of supercomputers. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Radical changes to supercomputer architectures are on the horizon.
