High Performance Computer (also called "supercomputer") is a computer which can process the complex and large-scale operation in computational science. In general, High Performance Computer represents the top 500 computers which is based on the computer performance in the world. After the successful commercialization of CDC6600 which has the 9MFLOPS performance in 1964, TFLOPS and PFLOPS High Performance Computer have been developed. High Performance Computer is the public resource which can be developed and provided by government. For the efficient application of High Performance Computer, government has to support the related activities such as research, resource allocation, and professional manpower training. To build a basis of the development of High Performance Computing can improve the quality of life and develop the national economy. For this reason, Korean government preceded the establishment of law for national supercomputing promotion from 2009. As a result of this effort, Korean government enacted the 'National Supercomputing Promotion Act' in 2011. This study provides the domestic and international trend of High Performance Computer, and analyses the major contents of National Supercomputing Promotion Act. This effort will be helpful to propose the strategy in order to provide more efficient service as a momentum of national supercomputing center.
