Much like Formula 1 racing cars, which are designed to make it possible for drivers to compete at high speed, supercomputing allows users to step on the gas pedal of calculation speed.
High performance computing is the collection of algorithms and techniques to utilise parallel hardware to accelerate scientific computation and tackle very large research problems. In many instances, supercomputers are highly-tuned computer clusters using processors combined with custom interconnects. A computer cluster is a group of linked computers, working together closely so that in many respects they form a single computer.
