For an example, I'll use the world's fastest computer, the IBM Roadrunner. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Roadrunner)
It is said to have 122,400 processing cores, (which equates to the processing power of 122,400 home computers) It takes up 6,000 sq ft and the DOE plans to use the computer for simulating how nuclear materials age in order to predict whether the USA's aging arsenal of nuclear weapons are safe and reliable.
