I think this do not advanced more just because of economic reasons.
I have have read last 10 years that Processing is a lot more cheaper did by network of computers and clusters, instead of a expensive supercomputer that also demands an appropriate building and infrastructure.
- TallGuyShort 11y agoModern supercomputers are essentially clusters, but with much more advanced network topologies and technologies, shared storage, etc. It's not just one monolothic machine. However, the types of computation performed by the top supercomputers are rarely the "embarassingly parallel" programs you can easily distribute via an @Home-style program, or something like Hadoop. They do depend heavily on very reliable, very low latency, high bandwidth networks.
