Sector: Education • Location: Manchester, England, United Kingdom
Source: Data Center Dynamics
The SpiNNaker project at the University of Manchester aims to simulate parts of the human brain by connecting hundreds or thousands of Arm cores. Recently, it suffered an outage due to a cooling system failure, which led to overheating and damage to some components. The system is now back up for internal users at around 80 percent of capacity and undergoing tests.
