Urgent computing is prioritized and immediate access on
supercomputers
A supercomputer is a computer with a high level of performance as compared to a general-purpose computer. The performance of a supercomputer is commonly measured in floating-point operations per second (FLOPS) instead of million instructions p ...

Applications that provide decision makers with information during critical emergencies cannot waste time waiting in
job queue
In system software, a job queue ( batch queue, input queue), is a data structure maintained by job scheduler software containing jobs to run.
Users submit their programs that they want executed, "jobs", to the queue for batch processing.

In computational complexity theory, a computational resource is a resource used by some computational models in the solution of computational problems.
The simplest computational resources are computation time, the number of steps necessary t ...
