supercomputers

A supercomputer is a computer mainframe optimized for speed and processing power. Supercomputers most famous were designed by computer repairs melbourne the company Cray Inc., founded by Seymour Cray. The cray-1 was built in 1976 and settled in the laboratory at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

These types of computers are used in demanding compute-intensive tasks such as simulation of the detonation of an atomic bomb, dynamic flow behavior and global climate models. The cost of a supercomputer is several million dollars. Some manufacturers current supercomputers are for example Cray Inc., Silicon Graphics Inc. and Sun Microsystems. In recent times, have armed some supercomputers by interconnecting a large number of individual processing units based on standard hardware sometimes microcomputers.
