A supercomputer is a computer with a high level of performance as compared to a general-purpose computer. The performance of a supercomputer is commonly measured in floating-point operations per second (FLOPS) instead of million instructions per second (MIPS). Since 2017, there are supercomputers which can perform over 1017 FLOPS (a hundred quadrillion FLOPS, 100 petaFLOPS or 100 PFLOPS).

∙ 12y agoThe usual definition is any computer rated at ≥10 times the performance of the fastest "standard computer" in the same time period. Most supercomputers are designed and optimized for special classes of scientific and/or engineering applications and are thus designed to give the highest floating point performance possible (even if performance on nonfloating point suffers some).
