The hardware maker, which recently found itself caught out by US President Donald Trump's ever-changing tariff decisions, was chosen for a pair of new high-performance compute (HPC) deployments – an interesting departure from the Cray EX hardware from HPE that has dominated supercomputers in recent years.

Imperial College is set to get it hands on a system called HX2 this year that will be built from ThinkSystem SC750 V4 Neptune servers fitted with Xeon 6 CPUs and direct liquid cooling, as part of its existing ICICLE partnership with Intel and Lenovo.
