I don't know about the architecture of supercomputers but
the limit seems to be still quite open.

    Matrix mult is a kind of parallelization ... and we
   still have some room there. But not every problem is
   easily, or at all, suited for spreading over 1000
   processors.

Well the main use of supercomputers is running vast mathematical models to make sketchy assumptions and crude parametrisations look much more betterer than they actually are..
Real racing car and aircraft design uses wind tunnels. CFD can't do the job.
