What is the memory capacity of supercomputer have?
A supercomputer is usually defined as a computer with at least
10 times the processing speed and at least 10 times the memory of
the fastest standard commercially available model of computer.
Supercomputers are traditionally optimized for high speed floating
point mathematical operations as used in scientific, engineering,
or image processing applications; not for alphanumeric processing
or input/output speeds as might be used in business
applications.
As the technology of commercially available computers is always
advancing, the definition of what is a supercomputer is also
correspondingly always shifting. In other words, today's
supercomputers are usually outperformed by far cheaper standard and
more general purpose commercially available computers within a few
years.
