The university has already constructed a 31 million building to house the giant “exascale” machine.

The principal has personally lobbied ministers, including Ian Murray , the Scotland secretary and MP for Edinburgh South , for the money.

New Labour government said the supercomputer — and another 500 million for AI development at other universities, including Glasgow — had been announced by the previous Conservative administration without any funding being made available.
