Best Answer

There are two ways to run with this;

  1. Depending on the size of the "supercomputer" I would think that it would have its own designated UPS
  2. A "power generator " would be of little use, because by the time it had kicked in, you would be in dire trouble.

If I was installing a server room and a client asked me as part of the Project can you install something that will save my data in the event of power failure, I would advise a UPS.

The size of the UPS would depend on the size of the computer to be protected.

Because supercomputers use power like all electronics, and when the power source is lost, say in a storm, then there is no working super computer.
