The abbreviation HPC stands for high-performance computing. This is an area of computer science dedicated
to the development of programs that can handle large problems, like weather prediction with a very fine
resolution. Typically it involves multiple processors, clusters of computers cooperating in the computation
and specialised constructs in or dialects of standard programming languages (such as [Fortran], [C], [C++]).

Techniques involved: [MPI] (message passing interface), OpenMP[http://openmp.org/wp/], multithreading, GRID computing.
