3. What is a Supercomputer?
A supercomputer is a type of computer that has
the architecture, resources and components to
achieve massive computing power. Today's
supercomputers consists of tens of thousands of
processors that are able to perform billions and
trillions of calculations or computations per
second.

4. • Supercomputer computational power
is rated in FLOPS (Floating Point
Operations Per Second).
• The first commercially available
supercomputers reached speeds of 10
to 100 million FLOPS. The next
generation of supercomputers is
predicted to break the petaflop level.
• This would represent computing power
more than 1,000 times faster than a
teraflop machine.

Fastest Supercomputer

8. Aaditya: Indian Institute of
Tropical Meteorology, Pune, has a
machine with a theoretical peak of
790.7 teraflop/s, called Aaditya,
which is used for climate research
and operational forecasting.
• It ranked 36th among the world's
top 500 supercomputers.

9. PARAM Yuva II :This supercomputer
was made by Centre for Development of
Advanced Computing in a period of three
months, at a cost of ₹160 million (US$2
million). It performs at a peak of 524
teraflop/s.
Param Yuva II will be used for research in
space, bioinformatics, weather forecasting,
seismic data analysis, scientific data
processing and pharmaceutical development.

10. Conclusion
As you can see, supercomputers are helpful in
many ways . They have numerous benefits and
uses, and they are very different from a regular
computer . Supercomputers have a long history,
and will probably advance in the future.
Super computers of today are the general
purpose computers of tomorrow
