The same way any computer is used for weather forecasting: a mathematical model. It just runs it faster and can therefore predict further ahead in the same time.

Are super computer fastest computers and are they more powerful than personal computers?

super computers are the fastets computers, but usally used in companies or for people who play highspec games like skyrim etc.


How were the first computers used?

Actually, the first computers used were completely mechanical ones, several hundred years ago (or thousands, I can never remember which). Basically what they would do is punch in an equation, and turn a crank for a long long time. It would give an answer in a certain amount of time, depending on just how complicated the problem was. What you're probably looking for, though, are the mechanical computers back in the sixties, where a bunch of mechanical parts would change pixels on a tiny screen.


Micro-computer mainframe computer super computer?

micro computer is also known as personal computer... this type of computer available in our home...mainframe computer is very large storage computer. they can store very large amount of data.super computer is used in weather forecasting, in research fields, seismic modeling, nuclear weapon design, aircraft design, etc. super computer can do calculations at least 10 times faster than fastest available regular computer........... this is typically very costly....... yesterday's supercomputer is often out performed by today's computer and therefore new super computers must be designed and built that are at least 10 times faster than today's computer.........super micro computers are the super computers of the micro computers. though often used by the same users that use super computers, their main users are game players. their realistic 3D rendered action games require far more processing power than an ordinary micro computer has, but they could never afford a mainframe or super computer nor could they fit one in their house. high end dedicated game consoles usually contain a dedicated super micro computer!


What are the four classification of computers?

MAINFRAME COMPUTERMINI-COMPUTERMICRO-COMPUTERSUPER-COMPUTERThere are many computers which are different from each other in various aspects. Classification of computers are given below.(1) Micro computers: These computers use a microprocessor chip and this chip is used instead of CPU means that this microprocessor chip works as a CPU.These computers are also called personal computers. Two major types of these computers are laptop or Desktop computers. Only one user uses these computers at time that's why they are also known as personal computers.(2) Mini Computers: These are powerful computer. These computers come into existence in 1960s at that time mainframe computer was very costly. Mini computers were available in cheap prices, so users start using it.(3) Mainframe Computer: It as a very powerful and large computer. You can get idea of its power as it can handle processing of many users at a time.Terminals are used to connect a user to this computer and users submit there task through mainframe. Terminal is a device which has keyboard and a screen. By using terminal users put inputs into the computer and get the output through screen.(4) Super Computers: As the name "super computer" specifies that these are most powerful computers even than mainframe. Actually, when we optimize a mainframe computer then we get super computer.(5) Microprocessor: You will find these computers everywhere. Microprocessor chips are used in many devices as I-pod, DVD, headphone etc.


Name of the all super computers?

There is a list of companies that used to make super computers and some of those companies still do make super computers. The question is simply but the answer keeps changing on a day by day basis especially if you include the military super computers. IBM and Toshiba make that size of computer.
