Advanced computing is a broad term used to describe either a specific type of high-end computer and the processes undertaken on it, or a set of skills used on personal computers. Both meanings are quite different, and there is no strict definition of the phrase, so that what one person means when they say advanced computing might be very different than what another person says. Generally, if a course is offered in this subject it is referring to advanced computer skills, while an agency that promotes advanced computing is likely talking about high-end computing.
