designing a high$-$performance computing $($HPC$)$ system for scientific simulations in a research institution. The system must leverage massive multi$-$core GPU architectures to accelerate complex computations. Explain the basic concepts of massive multi$-$core GPU architectures, including the organization of cores, memory hierarchy, and parallel processing capabilities. Provide insights into the advantages of using GPUs over traditional CPU architectures for parallel computing tasks and discuss potential challenges in harnessing the full potential of GPU$-$accelerated computing in scientific simulations.
