Supercomputing explained: powering everyday life

Supercomputers aren’t just for scientists in labs; they’re quietly powering decisions and designs that shape everyday life.

From designing aircraft engines and MRI scanners to developing the materials inside our mobile phones and modelling extreme weather events, supercomputers touch our everyday lives in ways we don’t always realise.

Professor Mark Parsons, Director of EPCC, explains why investing in supercomputing is important and how the UK’s next national supercomputer will be used to transform medicine, engineering and climate science, benefiting society and the planet.

Discover how the team at EPCC are putting sustainability at the heart of planning, and why hosting it in Scotland helps to keep water and energy use to a minimum.
