Supercomputers aren’t like a single super powerful PC, but are rather a collection (cluster) of smaller (usually very powerful) computers. Some computations can be split (parallelized) so that multiple computers can perform parts of them at the same time (in parallel) and this speeds up the computation significantly (Ideally. It’s definitely possible to parallelize something so that it actually runs slower).
