 OVERVIEW
• Definition
• History of supercomputer
• Operating system of
supercomputer
• Processing Speed
DEFINITION
• A Supercomputer is the fastest type
of computer.supercomputer are Very
expensive and are employed for
specialized application that require
large of methematical calculations
 HISTORY OF SUPERCOMPUTER
• Supercomputer were introduced in the 1960s and were designed
by Seymour cray and control data corporation (CDC), which
led the market into the 1970s until Cary left to form his own
company, Cary Reserch.
• He than took the supercomputer market with his new design
holding the spot in supercomputing for five years (1985-1990).
• Today, supercomputers are typically design and produced by
traditional companies such as Cary.
OPERATING OF SUPERCOMPUTER
• Most Supercomputer run on a Linux or Unix
operating system, as these operating system are
extremely Flexible, stable, and efficient
• Supercomputers typically have Multiple Processor
And variety of other technological tricks ensure
that they run smoothly.
 PROCESSING SPEED
• Supercomputer computational Power rated in FLOPS (floating
Point Operation per second).
• This would represents computing Power more than 10,000 times
faster than a teraflop Machine.
• A relatively old supercomputer such as the cray C90(1990s) has a
processing speed of only 8 gigaflops. It can solve a problem,
Which takes personal computer a few hours, in. 002 Seconds.
CONCLUSION

• Supercomputing has played, and continues to play, essential role

in national security and scientific and discovery.
• Moreover, the increasing size and complexity of new application
will require the continued evolution of supercomputer for the
Foreseeable future.
