All supercomputers are performing very primitive batch jobs: open file, read data, calculate something, open another file, and write data. Multiplication of 1,000,000,000 of 1,000,000x1,000,000 matrices is as trivial as 2 5x5 ones. Since '80s computers become used for more sophisticated tasks, and UNIX/Linux missed the train.
