Supercomputing, or high-performance computing (HPC), is a computer or cluster of computers with a high level of computing performance when compared to a typical computer. The performance of a supercomputer is measured in floating-point operations per second instead of million instructions per second. High-performance computers can run advanced applications efficiently and quickly and are used mainly in computer science and for computationally intensive tasks like molecular modeling, climate research, weather forecasting, quantum mechanics, and database analysis.
An NSF grant funded Trinity's high-performance computing equipment. Dr. Matt Hibbs (Computer Science) is the PI for this grant.
