Supercomputing

Supercomputing

A supercomputer is, generally, a really big and fast computer. The standard of what exactly constitutes a supercomputer has evolved with the capabilities of the computing industry. Supercomputers contain many processors and often take up entire rooms. They can do anything a normal computer can do, but usually much, much faster. Information about writing programs to run on supercomputers is in Computers/Parallel_Computing.
