Why is there such a high demand for supercomputing power? Who even needs all that storage and compute power?

health firms use it work out cancer treatments

also some companys have a such as a large demand on the services they need that much power 

such as Amazon or Microsoft or Google

Off the top of my head medical research like Ben17 said. Also data simulations, AI simulations, programs similar to Alexa or Seri where they will actually take what you say and send it to a "supercomputer" (cluster of servers) to process and return a response.

 

Various other reasons I'm sure I can't think of.

Don't see what you need? Check the Full List or *PM me, if I haven't made it I'll add it to the list.

*NOTE: I'll only add it to the list if the request is something I know I can do.

There's some good info here. The applications for them are boundless and the demand for centralized super computing will just continue to grow exponentially in the future.

Weather models, weather prediction and of course the military to simulate nukes and other stuff. The flight and car industry to simulate new materials before they are tested.
