SimCon has had a valuable association with Liverpool Hope University for many years. One member of SimCon is a Pricipal Lecturer at Hope, and another is an Associate Lecturer.

Recent collaborative work includes:

• The development of an API which will enable users to customise WinFPT, and to create their own reports and analyses.

• Automatic analysis of the use of units and dimensions in users' code.

• Automatic parallelisation of code for conventional high performance systems. Liverpool Hope has installed its own high performance computer, and the tools developed at Hope will also be targeted to the high performance system at Cape Town (CHPC).

• Conversion of code for fine-grain parallelisation, for compilation targetted to FPGA compilers.

Two members of the SimCon team are Honorary Research Associates at the University of Cape Town. We are working in collaboration with members of the Radar Remote Sensing Group, and on projects connected with The Centre for High Performance Computing (CHPC) and the Karoo Array Telescope (KAT).
