{{title|Supercomputer}}
+
The term Supercomputer usually defines a large system comprised of a huge number of individual systems. In the past(1970s-1990s) a Supercomputer was a individual, custom cpu(core), due to lacking connectivity and the rising major cpu providers having datacenters as their main business. Today, Supercomputers usually run a custom flavor of Linux, and each node is connected to high-speed, low-latency InfiniBand switches which handle job sharing and connecting specialized nodes to generally used nodes, like storage.
A '''supercomputer''' is a [[computer]] with considerably higher compute, memory, storage, and network capabilities than a typical mainstream computer.
 
 
 
== Overview ==
 
A supercomputer is a computer with typically much higher compute capabilities than comprable mainstream computers. It is often built in order to solve challenging problems in science and engineering. Though historically (1970s-1990s), supercomputers were built from individual, custom CPUs, modern systems comprise a number of individual standardized commercial systems interconnected to form a large complex system through one of the well-known interconnects architectures such as InfiniBand, Ethernet, and Omni-Path.
