High Performance Computing (HPC) uses powerful computers to process large amounts of data and perform complex simulations. HPC systems are used for engineering, medical, and military applications. The document outlines the definition, applications, architectures, methods, challenges, suppliers, and trends of HPC. Tianhe-2, located in China, is currently the most powerful supercomputer in the world, capable of over 30 petaflops.

Tianhe-2 or TH-2 is the fastest supercomputer in earth
made by china at 2001 for Simulation, analysis, and
government security applications and purposes.
“The United States cannot afford to take a back seat in computer technology to the Chinese,
or to anyone else. The nation that leads the world in high-performance computing will have
an enormous competitive advantage in every sector, including national defense…”, said Eric
D. Isaacs, Director of Argonne National Laboratory and physicist in University of Chicago
