Motion

University of Edinburgh Most Energy Efficient Supercomputer

S3M-08208 · Standard Motion · lodged by Harper, Robin

Lodged on

22 Mar 2011

Heard / answered on

Unknown

That the Parliament congratulates the University of Edinburgh on its work to develop the world’s most energy-efficient supercomputer; understands that, working with IBM and Columbia University, a team of physicists from Edinburgh has been working for the last three years on the chip design of IBM’s next generation BlueGene prototype computer, and understands that the BlueGene/Q prototype has been judged the world's most energy-efficient supercomputer and ranked in first place on the supercomputing Green500 List.

Lodged by Harper, Robin alone — no additional MSPs have signed on.

No division on record. Either the chamber agreed this motion without a vote, it was withdrawn before debate, or it predates 2011 — vote-by-vote records only run from then.

Computer-generated best guess

Possible final motion text as originally lodged

No carried amendments applied

This is a computer’s best guess at applying carried amendments to the original motion text. It uses simple text rules for phrases such as “insert at end”, “after X insert Y”, and “leave out from X to end and insert Y”. Treat it as an aid, not the official motion text.
