A supercomputer is used to number crunch. This is generally used in science to attempt to use a theoretical model to accurately predict a real world outcome in order to validate the model. A supercomputers power is measured in floating point operations per second (FLOP). They offer significant processing upgrades over regular processors by working in parallel using shared memory, however, the speed up is proportional to how parallelisible(sp?) the problem attempting to be solved is.

What is the motto of Pakistan Physics Society?
Pakistan Physics Society's motto is 'Promoting the development of Physics research in Pakistan'.
What are the examples of applied physics?
Applied physics can be seen in the movement of research tools into them home as consumer goods. The lasers in optical disk players are an example. My radio controlled wrist watch is another example. What about the computer on which I am typing this or the spectacles through which I am reading my monitor? All applied physics
