Organization that use supercomputer

The University of Arizona has a new supercomputer named El Gato which is solve tough question.the purpose of El Gato is to do simulations of Astrophysical phenomena,the formation of galaxies,turbuence in gas in milky way. El Gato is helping profesor and student in all fields speed up their research. In my research, the fluid dynamic simulations that I do take roughly 2 weeks to converge - with El Gato, the same simulations will take an hour or two," said chemical engineering professor Dr. Ara Phlipossian.

El Gato- which stands for Extremely LarGe Advanced TechnOlogy System- draws its super powers from internal processors. These allow scientists and researchers to perform calculations up to 300 times faster than on a regular computer.

"They're a lot like the video cards in your computer - but they're designed to do astrophysical calculations. El Gato has more than 100, 150 or so of them, " said Robertson.

These devices aren't just utilized by universities. Supercomputing systems are used in a wide variety of industries, from finance and healthcare to oil exploration. Supercomputers have also been used to design wind farms and even come up with barbecue recipes.

It cost a $1.3 million dollar grant from the National Science Foundation to get El Gato off the ground and in the university.
