Performance of a supercomputer is measured in floating-point operations per second (FLOPS) instead of million instructions per second (MIPS). Supercomputers play an important role in the field of computational science and are used for a wide range of computationally intensive tasks in various fields, including quantum mechanics, weather forecasting, climate research, and molecular modeling. 16 16 17 17 The[[ **Vienna Scientific Cluster**>>http://vsc.ac.at/home/]] (VSC) is a collaboration of several Austrian universities that provides supercomputer resources and corresponding services to their users. The current flagship of the VSC family is VSC-3. Installed in 2014, it is a throughput-oriented general-purpose Linux cluster with approximately 2,000 compute nodes and a few special-purpose nodes such as GPUs. It is renowned for its innovative oil cooling and unparalleled energy efficiency. 18 - 19 -
