A supercomputer is a large computer or collection of computers that act as one large computer, capable of processing enormous amounts of data. It is one of the fastest and most powerful types of mainframe computers available at any given time. A mainframe computer is a large digital computer serving 100-400 users and occupying a huge room. The primary use of supercomputers is in scientific computing, which requires high-powered machines to perform complex calculations. Supercomputers can process massive amounts of data very quickly and also perform calculations. First introduced in the 1960s, modern supercomputers are very expensive.
