What Is A Supercomputer? | The Supercomputing Series

Supercomputing, scientific computing, and high-performance computing (HPC)...all cool buzzwords, but what do they actually mean? What is a supercomputer? How does it work? And why do we use them? Find out in the first video of our Supercomputing Series!

Thanks for making me understand what supercomputer is in a easy and understandable way

everything and including everything=complete... 40 times per page 10^94 volumes.

plz tell where these computers are used 🙏🙏

[Turiddu]

Fun video but ignores the reason why these systems were built or what they are mainly used for.

Get rid of the music. Very distracting.

[RazsterTW]

Nice and informative but the music washed away what she was saying. I could not finish it. :(

[ThingEngineer]

Parallel processes have so much in common,
it's a shame they're never gonna meet...

[KuramaKitsune]

oh, fun.
always nice to see new names in the top 500

Please post more high level security related talks! I love the public outreach but your channel used to be so good for more cerebral, long form content. Did you start a separate channel for that stuff?

I love this topic, and think your script is great. However, the visuals do not match what is being said — if you want people to understand (meaning the majority of people...not just us fellow wonks here in DC) you have to show visuals which actually depict the concepts being articulated...otherwise your views experience "cognitive dissonance" (for example, showing stock images of a macbook when you're speaking about high-level concepts — showing imagery of the smallest particle in the system while you discuss the high-level is confusing and distracting...this is exactly the type of thing which makes viewers close a browser because nobody wants to admit to themselves they don't understand...they just say to themselves "bad video" and move on.). Better to proceed with full animation because then we can provide moving inforgraphics and stunning, logical visuals to depict, reinforce, and enhance upon what is being said. We've already worked with DOE (through Edelman) and we'd very much love to discuss how this content could be so very sharable.

Finally a good video about supercomputers. My question is this: if our brain is superior than a supercomputer why is that we can't process so much information or solve complex calculations,

So in terms of science, technology, engineering and math
A supercomputer is better than a human right ✅???

🤔 I thought it was a laptop wearing a cape and tights! 😂🤭🙄

P S., My silly joke aside. Want to thank all the dedicated professionals who make all the modern marvels and device's that keep everyone safe and a relative balance of power on the planet helping to protect everyone!

Very grateful for all the hard work, dedicated service in silence and relative anonymity and countless hours you all put in!!!
