185m underground at the Sos Enattos mine in Sardinia seeing their plans to host the Einstein Telescope at the G7 Research Infrastructures meeting is an unusual place to find Eduroam.

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.

We are delighted to announce that the UK’s first Exascale supercomputer – 50 times faster than any of the country’s existing machines – is to be hosted by the University of Edinburgh through EPCC.

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: 🎥orlo.uk/QWhSA

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

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 ➡️ orlo.uk/jTZ1t

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.
