After 6 years of service the Isambard 2 supercomputer is finally being retired! Starting in May 2018, Isambard was the world's first production Arm-based supercomputer, employing ThunderX2 CPUs. Isambard 3 takes over today using NVIDIA Grace Arm-based CPUs provided by HPE

Which HPC centres and supercomputers do you think have the best branding? I've always been impressed with TACC's logos for Vista and Stampede etc, while Lumi's artwork is very atmospheric. Which others stand out for you?

Great progress for Isambard-AI this week! The phase 1 system of 168 NVIDIA Grace-Hopper GPUs passed acceptance. And we got to visit the phase 2 system at HPE's factory in the Czech Republic. This is what 5,280 GPUs looks like, coming to Bristol later this year

Interesting to see these two side by side: NVIDIA’s Grace-Hopper and Grace-Grace superchips. We’re using both in the Isambard-AI and Isambard 3 supercomputers coming to Bristol

Fantastic visit to meet the @AISafetyInst in London today. Thanks for hosting the Isambard-AI team, looking forward to collaborating with you!
