It already exists, there are probably >100 HPC clusters spread throughout the EU in universities + the CERN cluster etc.

Why would we want to provide resources for a startup to waste compute resources to optimise advertising clicks? They can spend their VC cash at aws.
- nologic01 3y agoyou (or rather the tax payer that pays your salary) would not "provide" anything. the concept is for non-government money sponsored entities to get access (by buying) substantially similar (but scaled down) architectures instead of spending their VC cash at aws. ultimately this is also better use of taxpayer money: diffusing technology more wider and educating people to make use of supercomputing technologies beyond the ivory towers
- blitzar 3y agoThe demand compute time within the existing users far outstrips the supply, by orders of magnitude, hence why more is being installed.
