SUPER COMPUTER
Super computer are
almost the fastest machines in terms of processing speed and use
multiprocessing techniques. They use numbers of processor at a time in parallel
to make it faster. They perform massive data processing. They have a speed of
20000 million arithmetic operations per second. They are used mainly for
weather processing, remote sensing, weapons research and development,
seismology, image processing, bio-medical application, atomic and nuclear
physics. Some features of Super Computer.
(1)
Processing between 400-10000 MIPS.
(2)
Multi processing in parallel work
simultaneously giving maximum efficiency.
(3)
Storage capacity up to 100 GB and
more.
(4)
To max
the number of floating point instructions per second.
(5)
Limited used and very high cost.
