Why to use an MPP (supercomputer) then you can use an HPC? if you use MPP
then you need the company who make it for ever... with the clusters you
don't need them....

could you update your self the MPP?? NOP you need the company :)
but you could update the HPC, you could even build it yourself.

how much power need the MPP and who much an HPC with the same
performance? HPP need about 5-6 times less...

so why to use a MPP instead of an HPC?
