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.
