Really enjoyed showing @MishalHusain around the ACF yesterday. Reminded me that we need to get better at talking about why supercomputing is important. Thank you @BBCr4today
What does a supercomputer look like? 🖥️ @MishalHusain explores the Advanced Computer Facility near Edinburgh, which is used by thousands of researchers, and where there is hope of a new and more powerful supercomputer to replace the old one. #R4Today

Really enjoyed speaking to @GeorgeFreemanMP when he visited @EPCCed and @ARCHER2_HPC a few weeks ago. Unusual experience being interviewed by a Minister!
“…we’re getting to the point in computing where we can tackle things that have always been out of our reach.” EPSRC's Prof Mark Parsons talks to science minister George Freeman about @ARCHER2_HPC's computing power and the work at @EPCCed: 🎥 https://t.co/gBLRvmPNUZ

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

Repairs for my Sinclair QL this afternoon - new keyboard membrane … and yes the microdrives still work 🙂

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 ➡️ https://t.co/bBfaNU6JzO

Earlier this week the PM visited @EdinburghUni 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.
