They have evolved from grid to cluster system of massively parallel computing. Cluster system computing means that machine uses multiple processors in one system instead of arrays of separate computers in a network.
They have evolved from grid to cluster system of massively parallel computing. Cluster system computing means that machine uses multiple processors in one system instead of arrays of separate computers in a network.These computers are most massive concerning size. A most powerful supercomputer can occupy few feet to hundreds of feet. The supercomputer price is very high, and they can vary from 2 thousand dollar to over 100 million dollars.
The purpose of a supercomputer is to have at least 10 times the speed and memory of any other computer available in its time period, to fill the needs of users with unusually large and computationally intensive problems to solve.
Mathematical modelling is used in weather forecasting to predict wind patterns, temperatures, precipitation and sea currents. They have so many variables that only supercomputers are able to compute these forecasts.
Supercomputers are used for highly calculation-intensive tasks such as problems involving quantum physics,weather forecasting, climate research, molecular modeling (computing the structures and properties of chemical compounds, biological macromolecules, polymers, and crystals), physical simulations (such as simulation of airplanes in wind tunnels, simulation of the detonation of nuclear weapons, and research intonuclear fusion).
A super computer has the ability to process massive amounts of data, it completes tasks that would take years to be processed by a normal computer in a matter of seconds.
it is used by:
scientests - for processing large amounts of data/calculations.
Computer servers - for handling millions of clients (Wikianswers is probably using supercomputers)
goverments - for handling large databases
These were just some examples, it has many more uses.
usually modeling of large complex systems like: the weather, air & fluid flow at supersonic velocities, nuclear explosive design & testing, seismic analysis of petroleum deposits, movement of planets & stars & galaxies, etc.
what is the importance of purchasing
what is the function and importance of preamble
what is the importance and function of music
what are the important and function of culture
i think latest supercomputer is "road runner".
importance of circular function
immunity
The MacBook is a great computer but it would not be officially classed as a SuperComputer.
Function is what expected to be done to achieve a specific objective WHILES Importance is the benefits derived from something when it function.
