What a day - kicking off #IS26 with a visit from the UK AI Minister. www.bristol.ac.uk/news/2026/ma...

Isambard Summit 2026 was made a huge success by the speakers, sponsors, and showcased projects. Thank you to everyone who contributed and attended. See you next year 🎩

Monday 30th March was the 9th anniversary of the Isambard service 🎩 Pictured is BriCS Director, @simonmcs.bsky.social, at the official EPSRC/UKRI launch of Isambard 1 in 2017. Then came Isambard 2 and Isambard 3. 7 years later, we'd start to build the UK's fastest supercomputer, Isambard-AI.

🛠️ Construction of the new data center for the @eurohpc-ju.bsky.social LUMI‑AI supercomputer and the LUMI‑IQ quantum computer is in full swing in Kajaani, Finland! Read more on building this world‑class facility, CSC's largest data center investment to date 🔗 csc.fi/en/blog/cons...

🇬🇧 👑 1 month since we had a future King at the Isambard site. There have been many moments to be proud of during the Isambard project, this one is definitely up there. #supercomputing #hpc #ai #royal #sovereignai

🎬 Isambard-AI - Powered by our People BriCS colleagues share their thoughts and knowledge about Isambard-AI. WATCH: youtu.be/N5QMmgHFpcs?... (7:28 mins) #supercomputing #ai #gpu #bristol @simonmcs.bsky.social

🎬 Fintext - an Isambard-AI case study Time Series Foundation Models (TSFMs) aim to revolutionise the science of prediction. But, like LLMS, they can offer inaccurate information and may be at risk of contamination. WATCH: youtu.be/RxVpI_Lf9u8?... (5 mins) #supercomputing #research #ai

🎬 Healthcare - Isambard-AI case study Cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of sudden death in adults under 35. These researchers are looking for a treatment. Running their simulations on traditional compute would take 50yrs+. WATCH: youtu.be/WDvK4--34JM?... (2 mins) #supercomputing #research #ai

📽️ Isambard-AI. The UK's fastest supercomputer. Built for breakthroughs, powered by people. WATCH: youtu.be/HjwH9DdIjRs?... #supercomputing #ai #bristol

'The team building Isambard-AI at BriCS have used their experience, combined with the latest modular data centre techniques, to complete in <2 years what usually takes 4-5 years, progressing at unprecedented pace.' @simonmcs.bsky.social @rjjgilham.bsky.social @emmamrose.bsky.social #hpc #ai

Excited to be invited to 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the UK Prime Minister, for AI discussions with a visiting trade delegation from India. Proud to represent @bristoluni.bsky.social, the Bristol Centre for Supercomputing (BriCS) and Isambard-AI at this important meeting! #AI

What effect could projects run on Isambard-AI have on our everyday lives? ▶️ #ai #hpc @simonmcs.bsky.social @emmamrose.bsky.social @rjjgilham.bsky.social

A world changing supercomputer? Yes please 🙋‍♀️ #hpc #ai @emmamrose.bsky.social @simonmcs.bsky.social @rjjgilham.bsky.social

Insightful interview with the father of Isambard-AI, Simon McIntosh-Smith @simonmcs.bsky.social 👏🏻 #hpc #ai #aioap @emmamrose.bsky.social @rjjgilham.bsky.social

What a day for Isambard-AI, central to the Government's AI Opportunities Action Plan 💪🏻 www.bristol.ac.uk/news/2025/ja... #ai #hpc @emmamrose.bsky.social @rjjgilham.bsky.social @simonmcs.bsky.social

Our Isambard-AI supercomputer has been celebrated by UKRI as one of their top highlights of 2024 🏅 Truly a groundbreaking effort thus far from the team at Bristol Centre for Supercomputing and what an incredible year in research and innovation for the UK! shorturl.at/Fjh3d #hpc #innovation #ai

What a year for the Bristol Centre for Supercomputing. Isambard-3 launched ☑️ Isambard-AI phase 1 launched ☑️ Isambard-AI phase 2 well underway ☑️ Here's to the next!💥 @simonmcs.bsky.social @rjjgilham.bsky.social @emmamrose.bsky.social #hpc #ai shorturl.at/UD3Xk

On site to see the final sections of Isambard-AI being craned into place this morning, delivered by Barry, the Dutch lorry driver. Thanks Barry. 🚛 #ai #hpc

#CIUK has finished for this year. A great event, it felt like most of the UK community was there, with over 900 attendees! Exciting to exhibit Isambard-AI, Isambard 3 and the Bristol Centre for Supercomputing (BriCS). Huge thanks to all our team for their hard work pulling this together #HPC #AI

Last day to apply for this position! Come and join the HPC Group in Bristol.

GW4 Isambard 3 #Supercomputer is officially online🎉🧠 ! Part of a collaboration between the universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff and Exeter, alongside partners HPE, NVIDIA and Arm, Isambard 3 will push the boundaries of science. 🔗 https://buff.ly/4g7HtMK

After yesterday's snow, the sun is shining this morning as the last part of the Isambard-AI data hall is lowered into place. That's 5MW of data centre driven, sailed and craned into position #AI #HPC

It's #SC24 week, so what better time for the Bristol Centre for Supercomputing (BriCS) to assemble the 5MW data centre for Isambard-AI. Of course we have typical UK winter weather to contend with, i.e. wind, rain, and today even snow. Fantastic support from HPE and Contour makes this possible #HPC
