The University of California at Irvine’s new supercomputing project has hit a snag: Some of the machines aren’t quite working. Last year the university installed a $1-million computer system to help crunch climatology numbers, and, for the most part, professors have been able to use the system. But they haven’t been able to archive much of their work because most of their storage drives, bought from IBM, are broken.
