Supercomputing can be applied to real-world simulations of not just physical things governed by the laws of physics. For example, the University of Pittsburgh is doing big simulations that are trying to model the spread of the influenza virus and how it propagates across the population based on different parameters like shutting down schools or increasing vaccination rates.

Are supercomputers being designed/built primarily for use in academia, industry, or both?
