Following theoretical science and experimental science, high-performance computing has become the third largest paradigm of human exploration. As an important means of technology innovation, high-performance computing is widely used in many areas, such as nuclear explosion simulation, climate simulation, and engineering calculations. Moreover, it is a strategic commanding point of modern scitech competition and embodies the comprehensive strength of a nation. In this paper, we describe the history and current situation of highperformance computing, then analyzes the problems and challenges. Also, we discuss the future direction of high-performance computing.
