HPC – High Performance Computing. HPC uses supercomputers or clusters of server computers, hundreds of them or more, to solve problems that would take long to process using a server, even one with multiple CPUs. Classic HPC problem areas are simulating data flows across airplane wings and modelling explosions. Data is typically fed in to the supercomputer or server cluster from parallel file systems and written back in parallel as well so as to speed data input/output.
