Supercomputer As a Service

gubm writes "Nearly one and a half years after making a stunning entry into the global supercomputer list with Eka, ranked as the fourth-fastest supercomputer in the world, Computational Research Laboratories (CRL), a Tata Sons' subsidiary, has succeeded in creating a new market for supercomputers — that of offering supercomputing power on rent to enterprises in India. For now, for want of a better word, let us call it 'Supercomputer as a Service.'"

Perhaps all this new supercomputing power can be devoted to creating a Trek-esque universal translator.

A telepathic fish is a much feasible idea. Remember, your translator has to decode Busta Rhymes too.
