      I don’t know what to ask specifically but can you talk more about the project or like anything cool that isn’t mentioned in the article? I’m an undergrad at a U.S. Uni and we have a supercomputer(cluster I think?) but everything is new to me and I would like to learn more.

      I’d like to ask what OS it’s running and also ask you to bear in mind what the correct answer is on this particular platform.

      The article doesn’t really explain. Isn’t this just a computer that belongs to the university or is this actually got something to do with the government.

        The government fronted £225M for it. Therefore it’s being seen as a national resource that’s located in Bristol where they’ve built previous machines like this.

        How machine time is allocated would be interesting to know. Whether it’s only an academic resource, or if it’s available to other organisations?
