Exactly what hardware do you intend to run "osm" on, and what osm functions do you wan to run on it ? OSM can require some big servers (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Servers ), but none of these would qualify as a "supercomputer".

Your question doesn't make much sense as it stands -- OpenStreetMap is a massive distributed project, running lots of different pieces of software on lots of different machines in various parts of the world. Some you could run on other machines, but some need to run on the central servers to be of any use.

If you tell us what you're trying to achieve, rather than where you want to run the software, we can probably help better.
