Oh comeon i've been over there myself - everyone knows that this bunker has a max of a couple of hundreds of kilowatt of very expensive electricity. 4.3 cents the article quotes. That's what i pay in this office as well.
More heat you can't get away out of those NATO bunkers. This for a nation with exactly 1 researcher with experience in number crunching HPC that would be able to operate the entire facility and he has 5 other jobs as well, like all Icelanders. Whereas car industry together with aviation are worlds biggest users of number crunching - mostly for safety reasons. What's gonna run over there is not going to be serious nor espionage sensitive of course. Maybe software configuring cars for new customers - same program the BMW dealer runs over here :) But maybe the announcement sells another few BMW's in Iceland.
