Supercomputer to analyse unsolved mysteries of the universe

British scientists are hoping that a new £1.9m (€2.14m) supercomputer will help them unlock the secrets of the universe.

The Cosmology Machine Supercomputer at Durham University’s Institute of Computational Cosmology (ICC) has a memory of 15.4 terabytes, the equivalent of 7,500 normal home PCs. It boasts a disc storage capacity of a petabyte, or a million gigabytes.
