These days supercomputers aren’t necessarily esoteric, specialised hardware; they’re made up of high-end servers that are densely interconnected and managed by software that deploys high performance computing (HPC) workloads across that hardware. Those servers can be in a data centre – but they could also be in the cloud as well.

When it comes to large simulations – like the computational fluid dynamics to simulate a wind tunnel – processing the millions of data points needs the power of a distributed system and the software that schedules these workloads is designed for HPC systems.
