The current supercomputer at the top of the Top500 list is Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Cray XT5-HE supercomputer.
Expected to overcome it this year is China's National Supercomputing Center in Shenzhen's Dawning TC3600 Blade supercomputer.
example of a supercomputer----> India owns a series of supercomputers called PARAM developed by C-DAC
Supercomputers are very powerful computers with contemporary processing capacity. The examples of Supercomputers are, Belle, Hydra, Deep Blue, Gravity Pipe, MDGRAPE-3.
These computers are of significant size and cost millions of dollars.
k Supercomputer
A supercomputer generates a lot of heat, so it needs air conditioning to compensate, otherwise it would overheat the room and burn itself up.
The first Cray supercomputer (Cray 1) was installed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, CA in 1976. Components were built in Chippewa Falls, WI and moved to California for final assembly.
please see TOP100 list as this can change any time..
i think latest supercomputer is "road runner".
The MacBook is a great computer but it would not be officially classed as a SuperComputer.
San Diego Supercomputer Center was created in 1985.
Given similar technology the supercomputer is faster, by definition.
Supercomputer is measured in "FLOPS" (FLoating Point Operations Per Second)

No - a supercomputer is a single device or system (although fast and expensive). A massive collection of networked computers can give the results of a supercomputer but they would not be considered one.
