Supercomputing is an important application in the field of intelligence gathering and cracking. Supercomputing ability is leading. In the past, you can crack 64-bit passwords, but now you can crack 128-bit passwords by upgrading, and you can forcibly crack the other party's security system and obtain information.

In addition, supercomputers are also good at screening intelligence. The prism project shows that the United States spends a lot of money to collect the privacy of various countries, including the massive information of ordinary people. This requires timely processing of massive information, especially anti-terrorism information, and screening out valuable information as soon as possible. Supercomputers show great value.

2. Nuclear weapons security

For the United States, the role of supercomputing first lies in the development of nuclear weapons, and many supercomputing in the United States participate in maintaining the security of nuclear arsenals. Establish a mathematical model of nuclear explosion through supercomputing, deeply understand the principle of nuclear explosion, and develop a new generation of nuclear weapons.

3. Leading the trend of information technology

Supercomputers are the leaders in the development of computer information. Many processor technologies, virtualization technologies, quantum computing and so on. It was the first to serve supercomputing and then extended to civilian use.

At present, the computing power of cloud computing and big data also needs the support of supercomputing technology. Cloud computing is to run a large number of small tasks at the same time, and there is no relationship between tasks, which is called Qualcomm quantity calculation in the industry. Data mining for big data is mainly based on graph algorithm. Supercomputing is the most demanding. It pursues performance and calculates a single task in the shortest time. Behind it is the requirement of computing power, so it can also be called generalized supercomputing.

4. Weather forecast

The improvement of the accuracy of weather forecast is all due to over-calculation. Whether it rains or not depends on the movement of the clouds. Before the super-calculation, the accuracy of observing clouds is according to latitude and longitude. After super-calculation, the movement of clouds can be accurately simulated and observed.

5, find a plane and catch up.

Looking for the wrecked plane, after a large number of satellite radars collect information, the data processing needs to be handed over to the supercomputer. As long as there is enough accurate relevant data, we can find the target.

Through super-calculation simulation, the concentration and distribution of air pollutants in the future can be calculated according to the current situation of pollutants, and the air quality can be predicted. From the prediction results, we can also calculate which pollution sources contribute the most, understand the ins and outs of pollution, and provide decision guidance for pollution prevention and control.

6. Medical Application Supercomputers can not only perform gene sequencing, fundamentally crack the "password" of human life, avoid many congenital diseases from the perspective of gene repair, but also select the most appropriate proportion among millions of pharmaceutical ingredients to develop new drugs.
