Nick Lucid | What is a Supercomputer? (Tour of Argonne National Lab) @NickLucid | Uploaded 6 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
I got a personal tour of the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility, which houses two powerful supercomputers: Mira and Theta. They are used to run scientific simulations of complex systems like fluid dynamics or even the entire universe.
