Supercomputers Sample Clauses

Supercomputers. The term ‘supercomputer’ is often applied to a broad range of architectures from the most powerful computers in the world (e.g. the pan-European HPC supercomputers - Tier 0, National HPC supercomputers - Tier 1) to computer clusters (Regional HPC facilities - Tier 2, Local infrastructures - Tier 3). Supercomputers are usually massively parallel with distributed resources, powerful processor units and large memory, and they depend on specialist programming methods to make effective use of their high-end components.
