A supercomputer is an ultra-fast computer that can be used for large-scale scientific calculations in a wide range of fields.

The Next-Generation Supercomputer: opening up new frontiers
Simulations using supercomputers have become vitally important as a third method of research and development, alongside experiments and theory. Supercomputers are now used in weather forecasting, in the design of cars and aircraft for analyzing structures and fluid flows, and for a wide range of other purposes. They are indispensable for the future of science and technology and the competitiveness of industry.
