Work begins on UK's new £750m supercomputer

Written By Lesley Parsons

Construction work has started on the UK's new £750m national supercomputer.

Those behind the project say it will be the most powerful computer in the UK, and one of the most powerful in the world, when it is finished at the end of next year.

It will be hosted in University of Edinburgh buildings on the outskirts of Penicuik and Roslin in Midlothian, near the institute where Dolly the sheep was cloned.
