The Most Powerful Computer in the United Kingdom is unveiled. ARCHER supercomputer targets research solutions on epic scale. A new generation supercomputer, capable of more than ONE MILLION BILLION CALCULATIONS a second, is to be launched today (25 March) at the University of Edinburgh. The £43 million ARCHER (Academic Research Computing High End Resource) system will provide high performance computing support for research and industry projects in the UK. ARCHER will help researchers carry out sophisticated, complex calculations in diverse areas such as simulating the Earth's climate, calculating the airflow around aircraft, and designing novel materials. Its magnitude and design will enable scientists to tackle problems on a scale that was previously thought impossible. The system, at the University's Advanced Computing Facility at Easter Bush, has up to three and a half times the speed of the HECTOR supercomputer system, which it replaces. ARCHER's twin rows of sleek black cabinets are supported by the newly installed UK Research Data Facility. The system brings together the UK's most powerful computer with one of its largest data centres. This creates a facility to support Big Data applications, which has been identified by the UK Government as one of its Eight Great Technologies. The building housing the ARCHER system is among the greenest computer centres in the world, with cooling costs of only eight pence for every pound spent on power.
