Media Gallery

We have created a gallery of images and videos, many from the ARCHER2 Image and video competitions.

Wee Archie

ARCHER2 is made of 23 cabinets containing 5,848 nodes. It requires specialist staff and facilities to run, plus a massive power supply - it’s not possible to transport parts of it to science festivals and other events! For that reason, we have created Wee Archie to help teach people of all ages about Supercomputers.

Parallel Sorting game

The parallel sorting game is a simple, group activity to show why parallel computers are needed. It’s very hands-on and does not require a computer or other technology to play. Players complete a sorting task in groups of various sizes, and see how the number of objects sorted changes with the size of group.
