<< One of the most advanced super-computers in the UK is to be sited at Edinburgh University. The £113m machine, Hector (High End Computing Terascale Resources), will be used for solving complex problems by researchers across the country. It will cover the size of two tennis courts and be capable of 60 million million calculations a second. It will enable scientists to develop life-saving drugs and model everything from climate change to epidemics. With the performance of about 14,000 desktop PCs, it will also be used to design new materials and attempt to answer questions about the evolution of the universe. >> << It will help medical experts to develop new drugs by simulating the action of organs such as the heart. Meteorologists will use it to forecast climate change, while nano-scientists will be able to study how the smallest particles interact. The system will also help cosmologists model the way the universe develops; maritime experts simulate global ocean currents; epidemiologists project how diseases spread; and aeronautics experts simulate the way air flows off aircraft. >> news.bbc.co.uk Sounds like it's going to be asked some rather weighty questions ! :) JE
