Abstract
It is now very clear that silicon based processor chips are reaching their physical limits in processing speed, as they are constrained by the speed of electricity, light, and certain thermodynamic law. A viable solution to overcome this limitation is to connect multiple processors working in coordination with each other as well as using complex Algorithm to solve grand challenge problems. Hence, high performance computing requires the use of massively parallel processing (MPP) systems containing thousands of powerful central processing unit and complex Algorithm like the Divide and conquers algorithms. It involve breaking up a problem into several smaller instances of the same problem, solve these smaller instances by assigning different processors to the smaller instance of the same problem and then combine the solutions into a solution to the original problem by a central processor. Naturally, for this approach to work, the smaller instances should be simpler than the original problem, and combining their solutions together should be easier to do than solving the original problem.
