High Performance Technical Computing (HPTC) refers to the use of high performance computers (HPC) for technical, as opposed to business or scientific, purposes (although the lines between the various disciplines are necessarily vague). HPTC often refers to the application of HPC to engineering problems and includes computational fluid dynamics, simulation, modeling, and seismic tomography (particularly in the petrochemical industry).
