A
broad definition of High Performance Computing may be
the technology that can be used to provide solutions to
problems that require significant computational power
or problems that need to access and process large quantities
of data very quickly.
Traditionally, universities, research organizations and large
companies use super computers for engineering number crunching.
Super computers are extremely expensive machines that cannot
be afforded by smaller organizations. However, most of the
organizations need large computational power to find solutions
to business problems.
High Performance Computing technologies bridge the gap between
the computational power of traditional super computers and
computational power that is required by mainstream organizations
for various business solutions.
