Through years of steady investment and research, high performance computing in Europe has started paying returns to many parts of the economy - aerospace, pharmaceuticals, energy, automotive, the environment and climate research. But the best could be yet to come, as computing powers worldwide jump upwards and HPC becomes an essential tool for competitiveness across the European economy. In short, supercomputers will be for all, no longer a few.
The number 42 is, in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything", calculated by an enormous supercomputer named Deep Thought over a period of 7.5 million years. Unfortunately, no one knows what the question is. Thus, to calculate the Ultimate Question, a special computer the size of a small planet was built from organic components and named "Earth".

Dr. Guang Gao, a distinguished professor of electrical and computer engineering, along with Professor Roberto Giorgi, an associate professor at the Università degli Studi di Siena in Siena, Italy and primary investigator (Coordinator / Scientific Manager) of the TeraFlux project. The TeraFlux project seeks to exploit dataflow parallelism in teradevice computing and propose a complete solution to harness large-scale parallelism in an efficient way. The University of Delaware recently joined the TeraFlux project and received a grant connected to the project from the EU.

There are high-frequency trading firms that make tens of millions of trades a day on a basket of 4,000 stocks, and they scalp for just a penny profit on each trade. That form of scalping is as extreme as it gets, but it is something that average traders without supercomputers located right next...

A Cray-1 supercomputer in the science museum in Munich (I think...)
Prompted the following haiku:
hey don't sit on that
it's a super computer
it looks like a couch
The Universidad de la Frontera (UFRO) began operating a new high performance computing equipment with scientific capability. Its installation is part of the National Laboratory for High Performance Computing (NLHPC) project, lead by the Center for Mathematical Modeling of the University of Chile, with support and funding from the Associative Investigation Program (PIA) of CONICYT. April 18, 2013.
Complete Green Goblin Lair set with 3 gliders, transformation chamber, arsenal, workplaces, cage, and supercomputer.
Backplane cabling of a NEC SX-5 supercomputer. This machine has four CPU slots. Two on the left, two on the right end of this picture. The picture is taken at the supercomputer collection of Cray-Cyber.org, Munich, Germany.
How many secrets do you need; and then if you put them in a book and sell them in a resale book store how secret can they be?
Judging from this pic I would say "Windows" has a problem keeping secrets. Sort of like the US Government? But, everything is for sale; remember the US selling the Supercomputer technology to China.
Nothing is sacred and everything has a price.
Sorry to make a joke pic and turn it into "no joke."
The Tianhe-2 at the National Supercomputer Center in Guangzhou, China, is ranked as the world’s fastest supercomputer. Developed at the military-operated National University of Defense Technology, the system represents one of several areas in which U.S. military technology is no longer dominant.

High-resolution global atmospheric modeling run on the Discover supercomputer at the NASA Center for Climate Simulation at Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., provides a unique tool to study the role of weather in Earth's climate system. The Goddard Earth Observing System Model, Version 5 (GEOS-5) is capable of simulating worldwide weather at resolutions of 10 to 3.5 kilometers (km).
This portrait of global aerosols was produced by a GEOS-5 simulation at a 10-kilometer resolution. Dust (red) is lifted from the surface, sea salt (blue) swirls inside cyclones, smoke (green) rises from fires, and sulfate particles (white) stream from volcanoes and fossil fuel emissions.

NASA Langley LaRC (Langley Research Center). This is from 1992 or so, when I was in high school. There was a program at this building where we got to work around the supercomputers (HPC). Years later I randomly ended up working in the same building at the distributed active archive center, one of the few supercomputing facilities in Hampton Roads. 1.2Terabytes of nearline storage in the picture. I've got more than that on the home network for storing tv shows and music. One of the machines is now at the Virginia Air & Space museum (VASC)
