Colleagues from the HPC Competence Centre in Latvian National Radio in the programme “Zināmais nezināmajā” tell about the possibilities of supercomputers: why modern days without supercomputers are no longer imaginable.

Even if we do not realize it, our everyday lives are closely related to supercomputers, for example, their ability to predict the weather or process large amounts of data in medicine.
