AI/HPC combines artificial intelligence—software that learns patterns from data—with high-performance computing, which uses very fast computers to run huge calculations. Think of AI as a chef following a recipe and HPC as an industrial kitchen that lets the chef cook thousands of meals at once; together they let organizations analyze massive amounts of information or run complex simulations much faster. Investors care because companies using AI/HPC can develop new products, cut costs, and scale services faster, potentially boosting revenue and market competitiveness.
