What are governments using supercomputers for?

I can't imagine what you would need all that processing power for.

Anyone have ideas?

but what did they do with all this power

I think it's mostly for war games and weather simulations.
The government also has access to technology like 20 years ahead of time so who knows what they're doing. Even those bottom dynamic robots are only the stuff that they allow you to see.

to spy on and mindread schizos. their brains are too powerful

Not anymore they don’t. They rely on COTS equipment these days just like everyone else. The government hasn’t been innovative in tech since the 80s. It’s all outsourced to someone else.

Modeling/simulating nuclear weapons decay also.

they gotta store all their child porn somewhere

Computational fluid dynamics is a hell of a drug that requires massive computational power. One of Sequoia's crowning achievements (2012) was real-time simulation of blood flow through the aorta of a human heart. That required 98,304 compute nodes with 16-core A2 (Power ISA) processors, so 1,572,864 cores, and 1.5PiB of memory.

Bitcoin mining

It's literally for storing and databasing information data on internet users. They have wiretapped the entire internet.

Why don’t they just write better software

There is only so much optimization you can do on the math. And there is a lot of math to be done. Depending on the methodology of the simulation, there can be hundreds of operations required on every particle, for every time slice. And depending on the work being done, you can pretty easily being looking at 10^5+ particles in the simulation.

Ever seen Colossus?

You don't use cheap hacks in these sims because they're not games where you can laugh off a physics glitch. Instead, they're done as correctly as possible so there aren't glitches and real predictions can be made.
It's expensive, but it's much much cheaper than having to build lots of scale models and do physical testing of them all. (There's still that being done, but it is mostly used to validate the models.)

theres terabytes of information in your dna, it's impossible to simulate a heart without tons of compute because there are literally billions of cells in even a small muscle

I’ve always had a theory that they can break some encryption using superior computing power.

How do you make a cell in software
I can’t even comprehend
