Interactive Simulation of Parallel Processing for Supercomputers

Type: Presentation

Description:
What makes MSU’s supercomputer so super? The key ingredient is referred to as parallel processing – in other words, MSU’s supercomputer can do many things at once, while a normal laptop computer can do comparatively few things at once. Learn more about parallel processing in a fun, interactive, and hands-on demonstration called a “Raspberry Pi Supercomputer.” Play with a mock supercomputer to see how much of a performance improvement you can create with parallel computing!
