A supercomputer is a very large and very fast computer normally used in applications that require extensive computing power such as performing calculations and analysis required to manipulate massive amounts of data such as might be found in space exploration, refining photographs from the Hubble Telescope, advanced mathematical analysis, etc.
A workstation has much smaller capability and/or capacity and may not even have computing functionality ... e.g. CRT.
