open-in-new
<p>High-performance technical computing (HPTC) is the application of <a href="/facts/High-performance_computing/HT9NwGAN">high performance computing</a> (HPC) to technical, as opposed to business or scientific, problems (although the lines between the various disciplines are necessarily vague). HPTC often refers to the application of HPC to <a href="/facts/Engineering/RFVg8H3I">engineering</a> problems and includes <a href="/facts/Computational_fluid_dynamics/zuWdtNJp">computational fluid dynamics</a>, <a href="/facts/Computer_simulation/Re6o8vzN">simulation</a>, <a href="/facts/Model_(abstract)/hgysE2kP">modeling</a>, and <a href="/facts/Seismic_tomography/xlRG9zac">seismic tomography</a> (particularly in the <a href="/facts/Petrochemical_industry/h8WLR1kx">petrochemical industry</a>). </p>
