Intel Failed Science
This is very dramatic. Big supercomputer projects are not actually a walk in the park, they are designed to intercept technology several years in the future that does not exist yet. It <i>requires</i> science and engineering to make these things. Sometimes they&#x27;re late, sometimes they go over budget, sometimes they&#x27;re cancelled, sometimes acceptance criteria have to be adjusted. This isn&#x27;t unusual or limited to supercomputers. Look at the LHC, look at the James Webb telescope. They had delays and overruns and problems too. This isn&#x27;t &quot;failing science&quot;, it&#x27;s a project having project problems.<p>The big supercomputers aren&#x27;t all that lucrative, Intel wouldn&#x27;t be swimming in profit from this thing even if it did go to plan, as it is they&#x27;ll quite possibly be losing money to penalties and cost overruns.
