Super computer s is the fastest high performance computers.
These are extremely powerful, expensive, and are used for specialized
applications that require huge amounts of mathematical calculations. Unlike
conventional computers, they usually have more than one CPU, often functioning
in parallel. They have huge storage capacity, and very fast input/output capability.
Super computers are very much efficient in solving complex problems. These
computers are generally used in areas like Quantum mechanics, Weather forecasting,
petroleum exploration, climate research, molecular modeling, nuclear research
etc.
Different companies
have been making different supercomputers, but the most popular of them is IBM.
As of June 2012, IBM Sequoia is the
fastest supercomputers in the world.
