Southampton University Get SuperComputer

A multi-million pound supercomputer which is capable of doing over 74 trillion calculations per second is set to be installed at the University of Southampton. The custom-built machine, which is earmarked for cutting-edge research, is going to be in the top 100 most powerful computers on earth. Education bosses say the £3m system will be capable of highly complex computations in a range of many different areas of research.

Deputy vice chancellor Professor Philip Nelson said the huge investment was vital for the university to stay ahead of the competition, he was quoted as saying; “To ensure that we remain at the cutting-edge of research, we must invest in the best facilities for our research staff.

Academics at the university say the computer will result in world-class research. The supercomputer is due to be up and running towards the end of the year, based at the main university campus in Highfield.
