Supercomputers Solving Giant Problems

What sets supercomputers apart is the size and difficulty of the tasks they can tackle and solve. Supercomputers are marvels of computational power, and they are being used to tackle some of the world's biggest scientific problems. Current models are tens of thousands of times faster than the average desktop computer. They achieve these lightning-fast speeds via parallel processing, in which many computer processors perform computations simultaneously. Supercomputers are used for everything from forecasting weather to modeling the human brain.
