What Is Supercomputer?

Hello, World

By this post, we will know about what is supercomputer, uses of supercomputer, & facts of supercomputer to increase your knowledge criteria.

What Is Supercomputer –

“Supercomputer are very powerful computers, have a large storage capacity & able to process most complex jobs with a very high speed.”

Supercomputer Application –

A supercomputer is the fastest & most expensive types of computer. It can be single or multiple computer systems. In multiple computer systems, a supercomputer consists of several computers that work in parallel as a single system.

The advantage of the supercomputer is speed & having a large storage & dis-advantages are generate a large amount of heat during their operation.

Uses Of Supercomputer –

Supercomputer uses in various place for different functions.

A supercomputer is used for a complex job like computational science, nuclear research, Data mining, weather forecasting, Climate research, Oil & Gas exploration, molecular modeling, nuclear weapon & fusion, molecular chemistry & in advanced physics.

Facts Of Supercomputer –

Here are some facts of the supercomputer.

• Supercomputers operate very fast & have multiple processors.
• Usually involving complex arithmetic & mathematical operations.
• It’s price $ millions range of Computers.
• It took a huge amount of space.
• Solve bigger problems in shorter time.
• It can overheat due to its large size so it has a shorter lifetime.
• The majority of super-computer today run “Linux” based operating system.
• The supercomputer was introduced in the 1960s, made by Seymour Cray at control data corporation (CDC).
• Single machine super-computer includes the early Cray -1 and Cray x-mp.
• Blue gene & Roadrunner systems developed by IBM.
• The first official supercomputer was the CDC – (Control Data Corporation) 6600, which is released in 1964.
