Edinburgh Selected to Host UK Exascale Computer Facility
Oct. 9, 2023 — Edinburgh is poised to host a next-generation compute system amongst the fastest in the world, with the potential to advance breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, medicine, and […]
Exascale is the next frontier in computing power, where systems are built to carry out extremely complex functions with increased speed and precision. This in turn enables researchers to accelerate their work into some of the most pressing challenges we face, including the development of new drugs, and advances in nuclear fusion to produce potentially limitless clean low-carbon energy.
The exascale system hosted at the University of Edinburgh will be able to carry out these complicated workloads while also supporting critical research into AI safety and development, as the UK seeks to safely harness its potential to improve lives across the country.
