I am now officially worried
Quote:
Britain's most powerful super computer has received a £52m boost from the government.
When it is built in 2007, the high spec number cruncher will be faster than any in Europe.
The High-End Computing Terascale Resource, or Hector as it is known, will be owned by the Research Councils of the UK.
It will be used by scientists to simulate everything from climate change to atomic structures.

The thing that immediately grabs me is that Hector is so very close to Hactar, and given that it's being built in the birthplace of cricket, I for one am now really rather trepidatious about the whole affair. :?
It'll all end in tears, I'm telling you!
