He gained a bachelors degree in economics and arts (cultural studies) at Sydney’s Macquarie University, but hacked (without Norse or malicious code for that matter) his way into a career as an enterprise tech, security and telecommunications journalist with ZDNet Australia.

Europe doesn’t exactly lead the world in supercomputing power, but it’s on the hunt for a system that could rival the most powerful systems in use today. 

The call comes from the European High Performance Computing (HPC) Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU), which has been established to “develop, deploy, extend and maintain in the union a federated, secure hyperconnected supercomputing, quantum computing, service and data infrastructure ecosystem”. The EU plans to spend up to €250 million on the project, which will go on a “high-end supercomputer, with exascale capabilities, capable of a performance of at least a billion billion operations per second”.
