The U.K. no longer ranks in the top 50 for supercomputers, with its system, Archer2, dropping to 62nd place. This decline follows the shelving of an £800 million investment in a new exascale supercomputer by the new Labour government, highlighting a significant potential setback for U.K. science and innovation.
Professor Mark Parsons expressed grave concerns over the U.K's declining supercomputing capabilities, stating, 'We can't be a country the scale of Britain without a supercomputer. It would block the advancement of U.K. science and innovation.' This reflects the critical role supercomputing plays in national scientific progress and development.
