.
Supercomputers
most powerful, expensive, faster, special room, h
processing power, huge storage,
Complex scientific applications like weather-forec
require a large amount of data to be manipulated
a very short time.

Supercomputers use multiple processors, parall

processing ,multiprogramming possible, With mu
processors, a single task is split among the process
faster
execution .used in developed
countries=USA,JAPAN=nuclear physics

Examples: IBM, INTEL,FUJITSU, CRAY T3D & N
