Opening of the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS)
31 August 2012
Alain Berset opens the new building of the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre in Lugano. He opens with Deep Blue, the first computer to beat a world chess champion, and with “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, in which a computer answers “42” to the great question of life.
The CSCS researchers, he says, will not need 7.5 million years of computing: the supercomputer will serve research across the whole country.
