Supercomputers were introduced in the 1960s and were designed primarily by Seymour Crayat Control Data Corporation (CDC), and later at Cray Research. While the supercomputers of the 1970s used only a few processors, in the 1990s, machines with thousands of processors began to appear and by the end of the 20th century, massively parallel supercomputers with tens of thousands of "off-the-shelf" processors were the norm.Source From Wikipedia

Which company invented first super computer?

Depends on how you define supercomputer:IBM NORC was first computer deliberately designed to be much faster than other computers of the time.Univac LARC was first computer specified to be much faster than other computers and first supercomputer built in more than one (2) unit. However neither LARC built was complete, they both had only one of planned dual CPUs. Its technology (surface barrier transistors) was already considered obsolete before the first one was delivered.IBM 7030 STRETCH was first mass produced (9) supercomputer. However due to its poor performance compared to designed performance it was considered a failure.CDC 6600 was first supercomputer on which a family of semi-compatible supercomputers were based.

How much does a business supercomputer cost?

There is no such thing as a business supercomputer. Supercomputers were designed for solving scientific, engineering, and code breaking problems that required very involved and repetitive calculations and little input/output. Business computers were designed to do simple calculations that required more input/output than calculations.

Who invented the super-computer?

Seymour Cray invented supercomputer. In 1960s a series of computers at Control Data Corporation (CDC) were designed by Seymour Cray to use innovative designs and parallelism to achieve superior computational peak performance. The CDC 6600, released in 1964, is generally considered the first supercomputer.
