FREE COOLANT! offer from Chemetall! Department of Energy researchers do locally at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Because actual atomic tests are forbidden by treaty, researchers use supercomputers and smaller explosions for their studies. These computers will be used to maintain the United Kingdom’s Trident missile warheads.

The Moto G starts at $179 without a contract, making it much less expensive than other high-end smartphones.

Supercomputers from SGI have been used by the AWE for 10 years.The agency has 4,500 workers and also uses about 2,000 contractors. Just as a consortium of private businesses including Bechtel Corp. and URS Corp. along with the University of California run Livermore Lab for the U.S. Department of Energy, so the AWE sites in the United Kingdom are operated by three contractors — Serco Group PLC, Lockheed Martin Corp. and Pasadena-based Jacobs Engineering Group Inc.

Silicon Graphics sells three supercomputers to U.K. atomic weapons agency

Apple investing $10.5 billion in production technology

Silicon Graphics International Corp. will supply three supercomputers to the United Kingdom’s Atomic Weapons Establishment.

Apple Inc. is investing some $10.5 billion in manufacturing technology to stay ahead of rivals such as Samsung Electronics Co., Bloomberg reports.

Fremont-based SGI didn’t give a price in this deal.

The company is putting money into technology including robots, lasers and other machinery used to produce its iPhones, iPads and MacBooks.

The Atomic Weapons Establishment is the agency overseeing the United Kingdom’s nuclear weapons. It will use the supercomputers to simulate nuclear explosions using sophisticated models, much as U.S.

Apple outlined the plans in its 2014 capital-expenditure forecast, setting it up to outspend rivals on tools that it then puts in suppliers’ factories.

The U.S. launch of the less-expensive device was scheduled for January, but production of the phones wound up being faster than expected, the Associated Press reported.
