Examplesofsupercomputer
supercomputerThis provides a significant performance advantage on virtually every platform from workstation tosupercomputer.From theCambridge English CorpusA few years ago, such simulations, within realistic conditions, were restricted tosupercomputercenters.From theCambridge English CorpusHowever, regarding possible applications, for example, for developing numerical codes, this model is inappropriate because of its complexity even if a modernsupercomputeris available.From theCambridge English CorpusAll of these new systems are designed to be coordinated by selfconfiguring networks of satellites, sensor arrays and supercomputers.From theCambridge English CorpusFurthermore, often a high-accuracy solution is needed, and thus such problems can be computationally quite challenging even for parallel supercomputers.From theCambridge English CorpusHowever, even with high-speed supercomputers, this design process can still be hindersome, producing designs that evolve slowly over a long period of time.From theCambridge English CorpusThe fastestsupercomputerof the day in 1997 was 1.5r1012 ops.From theCambridge English CorpusAn example of such a product is asupercomputer.From theCambridge English CorpusContemporary supercomputers, by comparison, typically have a memory of about 109 bits.From theCambridge English CorpusMany who model the weather on supercomputers today would argue that the weather forecasts produced are actually surprisingly good, given the great inhomogeneity and unreliability of the input data.From theCambridge English CorpusA grid of supercomputers, if organised efficiently, could tackle all those problems that arise in science which have had to be put aside until more powerful systems become available.From theCambridge English CorpusIt consists of highly specialised tissue and is far more complex than the 21st century's supercomputers.From theHansard archiveExample from the Hansard archive.
