High-performance computing (HPC) is the use of super computers and parallel processing techniques for solving complex computational problems. HPC technology focuses on developing parallel processing algorithms and systems by incorporating both administration and parallel computational techniques.

A number of sophisticated
mechanisms are provided for
traversing directory structures.
Also, the user has the option of
caching directory lists from
remote hosts during a session,
allowing fast redisplay of
previously visited directories.

Using drag-and-drop, Hopper provides a powerful file
transfer capability. It is just as easy to copy a file between
two remote systems as it is to copy a file from the local
host to itself. Files and directories may be transferred
either singly or in groups with just a few movements of the
mouse.

8. The user can search by name using literal patterns,
wildcards, or regular expressions, or can search by
other file attributes such as file size, creation date,
or owner. Users can now search on the contents of
files on Unix hosts and can combine filename and
content searches.

VIEWING
For remote files, this will transfer the file to a
temporary directory on the local host for
viewing. For local files, viewing is done in place.
Several types of files can be viewed using
Hopper's built-in viewer; this includes jpeg, gif,
and png image files, plus text and raw binary
files.
