The number 1 supercomputer in the world has 8 million GPU cores (or is it 8 million GPUs? Execution Units?) and 600k CPU cores.
They are doing floating point math on GPUs. Numerical analysis [1] is used to create the best accuracy possible. This is something that has been done for thousands of years, basically since math has had problems with no "exact" solution.
