Construction of a £30 million ($37.8 million) facility that will house the Lenovo supercomputer began last February.

The Hartree Centre is the UK's only – or, depending which organization is speaking, one of the UK's only – supercomputing center dedicated to industry engagement. The Lenovo supercomputer will become a part of the center's £210 million ($265 million) Hartree National Centre for Digital Innovation (HNCDI) program, which supports businesses and public sector orgs that want to upskill and adopt AI.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The UK's Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) has picked Lenovo to build and install a 44.7-Petaflops liquid cooled supercomputer.

The ThinkSystem will reside at the agency's Hartree Center in Daresbury, about a half hour drive outside of Liverpool, where it will "power AI research for UK industry," according to a Lenovoannouncement released on Tuesday.

Lenovo declared the new supercomputer will be "strategically positioned to contribute to discovery-led industrial research, focusing on solutions to global challenges in areas such as: weather and climate modelling, cleaner energy initiatives, drug discover, health technologies, new materials, automotive advancements and legal applications."

A 1U Lenovo Neptune The Reg spied at 2022's Supercomputing Conference was configured with dual AMD Genoa CPUS and four Nvidia H100 GPUs.

Systems like Lenovo's 3U SR675 V3 also employ Neptune cooling and can hold four H100s with 4x NVLink connected SXM5 GPUs.

The Lenovo supercomputer will become a part of the center's £210 million ($265 million) Hartree National Centre for Digital Innovation (HNCDI) program, which supports businesses and public sector orgs that want to upskill and adopt AI.
