We give a brief (and highly incomplete) overview of the current experimental and theoretical status of high energy cosmic rays and their secondary γ-rays and neutrinos. We focus on the role of large scale magnetic fields and on multi-messenger aspects linking these three channels. We also recall tha
The use of supercomputers to solve fundamental problems in high-energy physics, e.g. the numerical solution to quantum chromodynamics, is discussed.
