Most powerful supercomputer
Coveney has, for example, created a digital twin of the circulation of a real person and is preparing to extend his work on Frontier the most powerful supercomputer on the planet, a so-called exascale computer.

Just as a weather forecast relies on a mathematical model of the Earth’s atmosphere, running on a supercomputer using data from meteorological stations, satellites and other instruments, Coveney and Highfield argue that one day mathematical models of a patient will be constantly updated with information from the body and run on computers to produce ‘healthcasts’ to help hone treatments and lifestyle that work best for that patient alone.

Launch Science Museum London
Chaired by the broadcaster Samira Ahmed, Coveney and Highfield were joined at the book’s launch in the IMAX theatre of the Science Museum London on Wednesday night by a panel of experts working at the frontiers of this new simulation science: Prof Andrea Townsend-Nicholson of UCL, Prof Blanca Rodriguez of the University of Oxford and Dr Jazmin Aguado-Sierra.
