As of this summer, there was only one supercomputer with exascale capacity Frontier in Tennessee, USA.
It will be surpassed in 2024 when the 2-exaflop capacity El Capitan comes online in California.
Currently, the most powerful computer system in the UK is the ARCHER2, also housed in Edinburgh.
The new exascale system will be approximately 50 times faster.
In the meantime, Bristol will also see the Isambard 3 supercomputer installed later this year.
