Description

The United Kingdom funds national supercomputers through UK Research and Innovation.

Scope

• ARCHER2 provides about 1.6×10^17 dense INT8 operations per second for national research programs.¹
• Smaller government clusters add modest capacity.

Total compute: roughly 2×10^17 dense INT8 operations per second.

Implications

Large-scale government clusters aim to support domestic AI research but require careful governance to balance open access with national security.
