In basic terms, Computer is an electronic device that process data converting it into useful information. Any computer regardless of what its type is controlled by programmed instructions which gives the machine a purpose and tell it what to do.
ComputersSlide3
Some computers handle the need of many users ta the same time. These powerful systems are mostly used by organizations and big governmental departments. They are as follows:Network ServersMainframesMinicomputersSupercomputers
Organizational ComputersSlide4
Supercomputers are some of the most powerful computers made, and physically some of the largest. They can process huge amounts of data and some can perform more than 1 Trillian calculations per second. SupercomputersSlide5
They are ideal for handling large and complex problems.They are used in mapping of human genome, weather forecasting, and modeling complex processes.
Uses of SupercomputersSlide6

Tianhe-2 literally "Skyriver-2" idiomatically "Milky Way 2" is a 33.86
petaflops supercomputer located in Guangzhou, China. It is developed by the team of 1300 scientists and engineers.It was the world's fastest supercomputer according to the
TOP500
list for June and November
2013.
Tianhe-2Slide8
The development of Tianhe-2 was sponsored by the 863 High Technology Program, initiated by the Chinese Government. It was built by China's
National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) in collaboration with the Chinese IT firm Inspur. Tianhe-2
runs on
Kylin Linux
, a version of the operating system developed by
NUDT.
