Supercomputing, or high performance computing, is using the largest computers available to tackle the biggest problems facing science, society or industry. Whether generating computer models of unprecedented fidelity in the aerospace, biological or climate sciences, or analyzing vast amounts of data from astronomy, business data in industry, or textual or musical data in the humanities, supercomputing is a rapidly-growing set of hardware and skills applicable to building Canada's skills and capabilities in science, technology, and the economy. 4, record 1, English, - high%20performance%20computing

Existe una gran cantidad de problemas matemáticos, científicos y tecnológicos que el ser humano no podría resolver por su cuenta ni en un millón de años. La supercomputación (también conocida como HPC [...] o computación de altas prestaciones) consiste en utilizar una gran cantidad de recursos para resolver estos problemas en tiempos razonables o incluso acercándose al tiempo real [...] Estos cálculos se suelen llevar a cabo utilizando un alto número de máquinas o bien un número reducido de ellas que cuenten con grandes capacidades de procesamiento. 5, record 1, Spanish, - computaci%C3%B3n%20de%20alto%20rendimiento
