Super computers are the most powerful and fastest of all computer system. They are even faster than main frame (i.e. 200 times faster). The memory capacity RAM is 256 MB or more. The hard disk capacity is 1 GB or more. The word length is 64-96 bits. The cycle time lies in the range 4-6 n.s. Super computer has more number of Central Processing Units (CPU), operating in parallel which results into very fast operating speed of super computers to make it very fast.
The super computer are important innovation in the history of computers. They may be employed in massive data processing, solving very complex problems. Super computers are used in weather forecasting ( to predict the weather ), rocket launching ,seismology, nuclear physics, weapon research and so on. The cost of super computers are very high (i.e. 15 million dollars). Today, experts are even trying to enhance the capabilities of super computers to meet all the requirement of scientific researches.
Examples of Super Computers are as follows:
