The main difference between a mainframe and a supercomputer is the physical size?
Supercomputers are designed to work on types of problems where speed is of the essence. Mainframes demand reliability and are used for performing thousands upon thousands of concurrent transactions.
What are the reasons that supercomputers mainframes not recommended for home?
There are two fairly simple answers to that question:# Supercomputers are expensive! (tens of thousands to millions of dollars) # The architecture for supercomputers is typically proprietary. Any software you run on it would have to be at least recompiled, if not rewritten completely from source on the computer. This means no normal games or photo/video editing software would run (those being the major reasons a "home" user would want a powerful computer for).
Where is the first supercomputer designed?
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 Kv111

What is the difference between the following two terms Thousands Barrels per operating day MBOD and Thousands Barrels per calendar day MBCD in meaning?
MBCD= 1.1 X MBODRegards,Majed
High-capacity computers with hundreds of thousands of processors that can perform more than one trillion calculations per second are called?
supercomputers
Which of the following types of computer is used for weather forecasting?
Supercomputers are typically used for weather forecasting due to their high processing power, which allows for complex calculations and simulations. These computers can handle vast amounts of data quickly and efficiently, enabling meteorologists to make more accurate predictions.
How many operating oil rigs in the world?
Many thousands.
Which computers need air conditioning?
Most typically, supercomputers need dedicated air conditioning. The average computer can be cooled by air alone that is moved over the hot components by a fan. Supercomputers have hundreds or thousands of times as many powerful components packed in close proximity and working hard (often for days or weeks at a time) and there is simply no way to fan cool them effectively. Virtually all supercomputers are housed in dedicated buildings that have round-the-clock air conditioning.
What is the longest form of pi?
Probably infinity because its true value has never been discovered even by the most powerful computers in the world. There are supercomputers calculating thousands of new digits every second
How many oil rigs are operating in the world?
approximately 570
What comes after ten-thousands?
After ten-thousands, the next place value is hundred-thousands. Specifically, ten-thousands is represented as 10,000, and the next value is 100,000. Following hundred-thousands, the sequence continues with millions.
