15 15  A [[**supercomputer**>>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercomputer]] is a computer with a high level of performance compared to a general-purpose computer. 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.

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.
