Massively parallel architecture. Some modern supercomputers have thousands of simple processors. Complex mathematical tasks are split up into thousands of tiny sub-tasks, and each sub-task is given to a single processor. For instance, when modelling a weather system or chemical reaction, each processor can simulate the movement of a molecule or group of molecules. When modelling nuclear reactions, each processor can act out the movement of a sub-atomic particle. 3, record 5, English, - highly%20parallel%20architecture
