Yeah, not sure where the article came up with that word. It looks like this was about testing a custom variant of a server/supercomputer processor to see how long it would hold up, yeah. So presumably ECC and the 32 cores are on one or two processors, but definitely not an actual supercomputer or even the high end of single chips.
For that matter, it doesn't look like stage one of putting a supercomputer into space. (And really, why would you want that?) From that last paragraph, its tasks from now on will be running sample takeoff and landing calculations, which implies this is about testing whether modern tech can replace existing flight computers.
