ITPEC IP April 2018 Question 23
ITPEC IP April 2018 — Question 23 of 100
Global climate forecasting is a typical supercomputer application because it requires enormous numerical simulations over large scientific datasets. Climate models repeatedly calculate interactions among the atmosphere, oceans, land, and other systems across a fine spatial grid.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- supply-chain systems emphasize enterprise integration and transaction processing
- banking systems emphasize reliability, availability, and high transaction throughput
- vehicle engine control requires embedded real-time response
Key rule: Supercomputers are suited to computation-intensive scientific simulations; transactional and embedded systems prioritize different qualities.
