MPP stands for "Massively Parallel Processing". It is a kind of parallel computing architecture and uses "multiple independent microprocessors" to solve unusually complex computations. This means that operations can be performed that would not be possible with normal computers.

For MPPs to work, multiple architectures are needed that single-processor computers do not. This includes both hardware and software to properly use all available resources.

In MPPs, each of the CPU cores has its own memory and communicates with the others. Each core has open communication channels to ensure programming tasks are done as quickly as possible.

In addition to the right build, MPPs need an operating system that can support the parallel processing that the machines do, and software to take advantage of the full power these machines have.

MPPs serve no purpose for personal or private use and are not financially viable. It is suitable to be used in scientific subjects as a "supercomputer" and they fulfill important tasks in this regard.
