What sort of applications do you run on, or what do you do with a computer 50k times faster than the average pc?

- jessriedel 16y agoI believe most supercomputers simulate things, e.g. climate science, protein folding, aerodynamics, QCD, etc. There is pretty much a ceiling to processor speeds, so the special thing about supercomputers is that they put a bunch of processors in parallel. The problem of simulating large physical systems happens to be particularly amenable to parallel computing.
