Are supercomputers practical, or a vanity project?
- ip26 5y agoSupposedly that depends in part on whether you are a nuclear power.
- dotnet00 5y agoThey very much are practical for all sorts of research, e.g. simulations of molecular dynamics, fluid dynamics, light scattering etc, all very relevant for medical research for instance. A lot of the research work I do wouldn't really be practical without access to supercomputers, yet the results feed back into pretty much every high-tech industry.
