Supnik
Supnik is a term used in speculative technology literature to describe a modular, scalable computing and simulation framework. It does not refer to a single real product or standard. In fictional and educational contexts, Supnik is imagined as an open platform capable of running distributed simulations, AI experiments, and data processing across heterogeneous devices.
Origins of the term are informal, arising in online science-fiction communities and teaching materials as a
Concept and architecture: A typical Supnik system centers on a lightweight core kernel that coordinates plug-in
Variants and usage: In fiction and pedagogy, designers reference Supnik-Engine for simulation workloads, Supnik-Node for edge
