A group of incredibly powerful computers is known as a supercomputer. The term is frequently used to refer to the quickest high-performance systems at any given period. These computers have mostly been employed for scientific and technical tasks needing extremely fast computations.
Supercomputers typically feature more than one central processing unit, which is unusual for ordinary computers and contains circuits for deciphering programme instructions and carrying out arithmetic and logic operations in the right order. The physical limitations of circuit technology force the employment of several CPUs to attain high computing rates. The speed of light, which is a fundamental speed restriction for both signal transmission and circuit switching, is the limit for electronic signals.
