3. Introduction
 Supercomputers were Introduced in The 1960s by
Seymour Regor Cray at Control Data Corporation (CDC)
and Have been used Intensively in Science and
engineering ever Since

8. Characteristics of supercomputer
 Supercomputers have a high capacity of RAM and
storage.
 Capable of handling the massive amount of
calculations that are beyond the human capabilities,
i.e., the human is unable to solve such extensive
calculations.
 Many individuals can access supercomputers at the
sametime.
 These are the most expensive computers that can
ever be made.

9. Measurement of speed
 • Super computers speed are measured in floating point operations
per second(FLOPS) in units of:
 Megaflops(MFLOPS)
 Gigaflops(GFLOPS)
 Teraflops(TFLOPS)

10. Computer supercomputer
 Its components are:
multiple input/output
devices, magnetic disk,
tape storage and many
banks of internal storage.
 It can do millions of
instructions per second.
 It is used for bulk data
processing like consumer
statistics, financial
transaction processing,
etc.
 Only one person can use
the computer at a time.
 A supercomputer usually
includes more than one
CPU
 It can do floating point
operations per
second(FLOPS)
 It is used for nuclear
weapon development,
host processes weather
forecasting, for a local
computer
 They can support more
than one users at a time
