Super Computers | What is Super Computer?

 Super computers:

                                                               Super Computer are the most powerful and the most expensive computers designed for scientific, engineering, and business applications. These Computers can process billions to trillions of instructions per second. The usage includes world-wide weather forecasting, weapon research, stock analysis, automobile designing, special effects for movies and used for applications requiring complex mathematical calculations. Supercomputers possess extremely high computing speed, higher capacity for storage, faster primary memory and faster secondary storage as compared to other types of computers. IBM's supercomputer, sequoia, can perform around 16 thousand trillion instructions per second.

These computers are used for research and exploration purposes, like NASA uses supercomputers for launching space shuttles, controlling them and for space exploration purpose.
