What is supercomputer?

what is the memory capacity of supercomputer

i think latest supercomputer is "road runner".

1.2 $ I think this is so much for a supercomputer price.

The MacBook is a great computer but it would not be officially classed as a SuperComputer.

The current supercomputer at the top of the Top500 list is Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Cray XT5-HE supercomputer. Expected to overcome it this year is China's National Supercomputing Center in Shenzhen's Dawning TC3600 Blade supercomputer. example of a supercomputer----> India owns a series of supercomputers called PARAM developed by C-DAC

Dr. Vijay Bhatkar invented supercomputer in India first.

Another name for a supercomputer is called a NAP( Network Access Point)

Given similar technology the supercomputer is faster, by definition.

three difference between a supercomputer and minicomputer?

San Diego Supercomputer Center was created in 1985.

Supercomputer is measured in "FLOPS" (FLoating Point Operations Per Second)

By khalid Betani Variable price from $1 million to $4.6 million for a supercomputer

No - a supercomputer is a single device or system (although fast and expensive). A massive collection of networked computers can give the results of a supercomputer but they would not be considered one.

"Supercomputer" is a very vague name for a very powerful computer. If there were a more powerful type of computer than the ones you're thinking of, it would instantly be called a supercomputer.

Different supercomputers have different speeds. As of 2017, the fastest supercomputer (according to TOP500) has a speed of about 93 petaflops.

Supercomputer

No, supercomputer are made up of thousands of computers to create one powerful computer. They cost millions to make.

A supercomputer. Currently, IBM Roadrunner is considered to be the most powerful supercomputer, by means of peak performance.

what is the size of super computers

As of 2013, Rwanda does not have a supercomputer yet, and its technological lag will probably prevent the country from having one for a few more years.

There are vast applications for supercomputer now a days....some of them are Space Research Educational purposes Military etc.......................

Yes they do. As far as I know, they already use or will be using the IBM Blue Gene. http://newsbytes.ph/2013/05/18/ph-gets-its-first-supercomputer/ http://betterphils.blogspot.jp/2013/06/first-supercomputer-in-asean-countries.html

Well a supercomputer refers to a computer with far-above normal capabilities. A supercomputer can run thousands of processes at a time without much negative impact. Some of the on board computers on jets can handle over a trillion processes at once.

A supercomputer using gallium arsenide instead of silicon for its semiconductor components. Gallium arsenide is much faster than silicon so it helps significantly in getting the performance needed by a supercomputer, but it is much harder to fabricate resulting in an increase in price.

The Titan supercomputer is the second fastest in the world, and based in the U.S. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_(supercomputer) use by big satellite
