HPC
Why should I care about HPC?
I just run things on my desktop machine, can't I?
Yes
The CPUs in a desktop are similar to those in a "supercomputer"
But
Do you want to run 100%-CPU jobs on your desktop machine?
Would you like to:
Run a dozen or more jobs at once?
Run a (parallel) job on 64 or 128 CPUs/cores at once?
Use 32 GB RAM?
What happens if the cleaner unplugs your desktop 90% through a month-long computation?
