Spanish term or phrase: Cluster de Cálculo Complejo
From a yearly report by the engineering arm of a major energy company. This is from the section on IT and Systems...

Aparte diversas mejoras e integraciones entre los diversos productos que constituyen la plataforma CAD y ***Cluster de Cálculo Complejo***, durante el año 2016 se han puesto las bases tecnológicas para un posible uso de lo que se denomina Worksharing, que permite distribuir la maqueta 3D del diseño de plantas en diversas empresas, facilitando una importante mejora en la flexibilidad del trabajo.

I wouldn't read much into the use of upper case letters, the text has a tendency to sprinklle them about liberally, especially where there are Anglicisms.

- There doesn't appear to be a company called "Cálculo Complejo" who produce a programme called "Cluster"
- There are no Google hits for "complex calculation cluster"

(reasonable sized) computer cluster for complex calculations
Explanation:
Given the information gathered from references indicate that a probable solution to the term requested is:(reasonable sized) computer cluster for complex calculations/problems
It is reasonable sized as size of clusters can run from small to very big. Technology has away of making clusters smaller than they were.

La Facultad de Ingeniería Química (FIQ) de la Universidad Nacional del Litoral (UNL) puso en funcionamiento un nuevo equipamiento tecnológico capaz de hacer operaciones de cálculo de alta complejidad con el objeto de facilitar las tareas de investigadores tanto teóricos como experimentales.

Computer clusters emerged as a result of convergence of a number of computing trends including the availability of low-cost microprocessors, high speed networks, and software for high-performance distributed computing.[citation needed] They have a wide range of applicability and deployment, ranging from small business clusters with a handful of nodes to some of **the fastest supercomputers** in the world such as IBM's Sequoia.[4]

Computer clusters may be configured for different purposes ranging from general purpose business needs such as web-service support, to computation-intensive scientific calculations. In either case, the cluster may use a high-availability approach. Note that the attributes described below are not exclusive and a "computer cluster" may also use a high-availability approach, etc.

Known popularly as Beowulf-class clusters, these groups of linked, off-the-shelf computers are taking the scientific world by storm. Costing mere tens of thousands of dollars, computer clusters are capable of performing high-speed, complex calculations and simulations, frequently on par or even better than their more expensive supercomputing cousins.
