About Supercomputers
A supercomputer is defined as a system that is designed to solve problems or issues that require an extraordinary number of computations across fields such as engineering, science, and business. It is a computing device that is designed for speed rather than for cost-efficiency. The TOP500 List is the benchmark that is attributed to the best and the most high-performing systems in the world and commonly defines market dynamics. A study carried out by industry experts indicate that a number of companies already using supercomputers and unwilling to give up the use of the systems was between the range of 95%-100%. Some of the applications of supercomputers include drug discovery and testing, data analytics in financial services, vehicle crash collision testing, scientific research in physics and chemistry, and weather forecasting.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global supercomputer market to grow at a CAGR of 7.00% during the period 2017-2021.
