Earlier this week the PM visited The University of Edinburgh to see the UK's biggest supercomputer, which boasts a processing ability equivalent to 250,000 laptops. From climate modelling to the design of sustainable technologies, ARCHER2 is an example of UK cutting-edge innovation.

Supercomputer ARCHER enabled researchers to run simulations that helped design vaccines and medicines to tackle #COVID19. Its successor @archer2_hpc is 11 times more powerful. More about these supercomputers that are part of UK's #ResearchInfrastructure ➡️ orlo.uk/jTZ1t

Job done! Although admittedly I had a problem with one of the microdrive leds … nothing that taking it all apart again couldn’t solve 😂

We are delighted to announce that the UK’s first Exascale supercomputer – 50 times faster than any of the country’s existing machines – is to be hosted by the University of Edinburgh through EPCC. edin.ac/3FaoIro

Very pleased that EPCC has been chosen to host the UK’s first Exascale system for UK Research and Innovation: see gov.uk/government/new…. The project can now move forward at pace!

Really enjoyed showing Mishal Husain around the ACF yesterday. Reminded me that we need to get better at talking about why supercomputing is important. Thank you BBC Radio 4 Today

185m underground at the Sos Enattos mine in Sardinia seeing their plans to host the Einstein Telescope at the G7 Research Infrastructures meeting is an unusual place to find Eduroam.
