Supercomputers can do mathematical computations (sums) very fast and with great precision. Scientists use them to run models (mathematical simulations) which allow them to envision, understand and predict the behaviors of real world situations such as the weather, global warming, the ability of structures to withstand wind or earthquakes, what happens in nuclear bombs, how the universe evolved, how drugs work in the body etc.

They also use them to gather and process (reduce) and manipulate the data from large experiments such as Telescopes, CERN, BARBA etc.

How many people can use supercomputers?

The number of people who can use supercomputers varies depending on the institution and the specific supercomputer's capacity and access policies. Typically, supercomputers are used by researchers, scientists, and engineers in academia, government, and industry, with access often limited to those who have specific projects or collaborations. Some supercomputing facilities may allow multiple users to run jobs simultaneously, while others may have scheduled access or user quotas. Overall, the user base can range from a handful of individuals to hundreds or even thousands, depending on the context.
