With more than a thousand top-end Intel graphics processing units (GPUs) operating inside its server stacks, Dawn enables scientists within Cambridge and across the UK make huge advances in critical research fields such as clean energy, personalised medicine and climate. Meet researchers from ai@cam - the University of Cambridge’s mission to develop AI that serves science, citizens, and society - who can tell you how it works. Then you can also have a go at making your own Lego model supercomputer.
