Large corporations, universities, and research labs have relied on high-performance computers (HPC)–or “supercomputers”–for years to solve complex problems in science, engineering, financial modeling, and other similar uses requiring advanced, heavy-duty computations. The high cost of these systems and their complexity have often kept them out of the hands of smaller companies, institutions, and departments that don’t have the budget or resources to purchase and maintain them.
