Q&A with Clive England

About the Speaker:

Clive England worked at Cray Research during the 1990s, a time when supercomputers

were evolving from superfast processors to super-capacity systems. As a software service

engineer at a hardware company, he was responsible for installing, tuning, and

troubleshooting these multi-million pound systems. Currently, he is researching the

history of Cray-branded supercomputers.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an onsite cafe/ Shop

We have a small cafe/ shop onsite, for souvenirs, sandwiches, cakes, hot and cold drinks and snacks. There is a range of T-shirts, books, mugs, gifts, build-your-own kits, framed prints, and lots more available to buy. Sales help fund the museum's development, and will be invested in new displays.
