The word supercomputing is being tossed around too lightly in this article. True supercomputers, the absolute most powerful computing machines on the earth, are used to model quantum reality and the weather, and other very difficult tasks, not to run Excel and Word or to play solitaire. Many cores does not a supercomputer make. Even with the Cray name on it, such devices are simply powerful servers and workstations used in enterprise applications or digital modeling and animation for motion pictures.
