Supercomputers Student Name University Affiliation Introduction A supercomputer is a type of computer that executes its functions at or close to the current available highest rate of operation available to computers. Traditionally this types of computers have been reserved for use in engineering and scientific applications that handle huge and complex databases or functions that require great deal of computation or both (Johnsson 2010). Despite advances such as multicore processors and GPGPUs have helped in the development of powerful computers by default supercomputers encompass this and more features making them exceptional in their performance and utility. As of 2016 the record superfast computer in the world was in China in Sunway TaihuLight in the city of Wixu. The first commercially available supercomputer was designed by Seymour Cray and released into the market in 1964 and was referred to as Control Data Corporation 6600 (CDC). The CDC in its working supercomputers. Medicine and treatment offered by doctors is enabled by the supercomputers where imaging and real-time diagnosis is done faster and solutions are found instantly. There is also the component of data analysis where going through the various data requires high speed computer that becomes possible only by using supercomputers. They have completely altered the face of humanity. References Hoffman A. R. Traub J. F.
