      At Bristol we have 3 supercomputers. They are all in their own large room with special cooling equipment to remove the intense heat they produce. They must be fairly large because the latest one contains over 3,500 computer cores. I never have to go to the supercomputer however as you log onto it remotely. I can access it from anywhere in the world with Internet 🙂
