“A super computer, considered one of the most powerful in Europe, has been given a boost in its brain power for the UK’s fight against bird flu. Blue C, based at Swansea University, has been made 20% [yes, 20%!!] more powerful so it can work out more quickly the best way to tackle a possible disease outbreak…By modelling bird flight patterns, experts hope the machine will work out how best to confine the disease, through culls and quarantines, should more birds carrying the disease migrate to the UK in future.”
“IBM-made Blue C, the size of a tennis court, is derived from Deep Blue, the first computer to beat a reigning world chess champion.”
Your move, mother nature.
