What exactly is a supercomputer for? How does it work? And who gets to use it? Tech Life spends the day at the UK’s national supercomputer to get the answers. We get a rare tour of one of the most powerful computers in the country, and speak to scientists who have access to the computer about how it helps them with their research. Produced and presented by Imran Rahman-Jones. (Image: The inside of a supercomputer blade, with circuit boards, copper processors and memory sticks inside)
