HPC

High Performance Computing (HPC) refers to the use of large-scale computer systems, networks, and software tools to achieve fast computation and large-scale data processing. It is primarily used in fields such as scientific and engineering computing, weather forecasting, financial modeling, and big data analytics.

HPC systems typically consist of many computing nodes, storage devices, and network interconnects, allowing for high-speed input/output, parallel computation, and efficient communication of large volumes of data. Advanced programming languages and parallel programming models such as MPI (Message Passing Interface) and OpenMP are often used in HPC to achieve parallel computation.

HPC technology plays an important role in many fields of research and application, enabling faster scientific discoveries, optimized engineering designs, and accelerated new product development.
