The power to change our world

Our mission is to make zettascale possible, exascale practical.

The Cambridge Open Zettascale Lab is dedicated to making exascale practical while facilitating innovation in emerging zettascale technologies.

Formed in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, Pembroke College, Intel and Dell Technologies, the Zettascale Lab enables technology leaders and experts from around the world to explore, test and advance the next generation of high-performance computers.

 

The Cambridge Open Zettascale Lab

Zettascale refers to the next generation of supercomputers.

Zettascale systems will combine high-performance computing for simulation and artificial intelligence training with ultra-fast data storage and analytics.

These capabilities will allow scientists, engineers and clinicians to perform the advanced research and development necessary to begin solving the world’s critical problems.

With zettascale-class systems, we can better understand the nature of the universe, design new materials and clean energy solutions, as well as develop and deliver personalised medicine and data-driven healthcare.
