Replacing mechanical/magnetic components with a supercomputer

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a device to cause the device to:

• connect a second computer to a first computer, the first computer having faster processing capability than the second computer in data processing;
• run a first application on the second computer, the first computer storing data for producing a result for the first application;
• and
• invoke from the first application running on the second computer, an interface command to invoke a second application on the first computer,
• the first computer functioning as a part of the second computer's memory hierarchy,
• the first application receiving the result from the second application,
• wherein the first computer is located within a threshold distance of the second computer such that a latency in receiving the result by the first application from the first computer does not exceed a threshold latency value.

A system comprising:

• a first computer coupled with a memory device, the first computer capable of performing parallel processing;
• and
• a second computer operable to connect with the first computer;
• the first computer capable of providing faster processing than the second computer in data processing,
• wherein the first computer is operable to function as a part of the second computer's memory hierarchy,
• wherein the first computer is located within a threshold distance of the second computer such that a latency in data transmission from the first computer to the second computer is within a threshold latency value.
