A computer developed to process massive amounts of data at extreme speeds, representing the highest level of computational performance available at a given time. It is used for large-scale scientific and technical computations that ordinary computers cannot complete within a practical timeframe, such as weather forecasting, global environmental simulation, genomic analysis, and astrophysical modeling. Japan's Fugaku is a well-known world-class example.
