👉 Supercomputing, or high-performance computing (HPC), refers to the use of powerful computational resources, typically supercomputers, to solve complex and data-intensive problems across various scientific, engineering, and industrial domains. These systems are designed to handle massive amounts of data and perform intricate calculations at incredibly high speeds, far exceeding the capabilities of standard computers. Supercomputers often utilize thousands or even tens of thousands of interconnected processors, memory modules, and specialized hardware like graphics processing units (GPUs) or field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to achieve their exceptional performance. They are crucial in fields such as climate modeling, molecular dynamics simulations, artificial intelligence research, and large-scale data analysis, enabling breakthroughs that would be impossible with conventional computing methods.
