I've always wondered what these supercomputers specifically do on a day to day basis.

It's in the article, "Researchers will use the system to advance scientific research across biomedicine, genomics, diseases, climate, and more."

So they will process whatever they need at that time. Anything that requires massive amounts of data processing and memory usage pretty much needs something of this scale. Depending on the task can take a few days, weeks, maybe months to complete.

There's also some single use ones like the large supercomputers the met office and similar organisations have for weather prediction/modelling

Pretty sure thats what NBD meant by climate.

Yeah I just meant to say not all research ones are time-shared, since it's somewhat rare to have those single purpose ones like the met office and such do
