TYPE OF COMPUTERS
1. Super Computers
2. Main Frame Computers
3. Mini Computers
4. Micro Computers
1. Super Computers:- A supercomputer is a PC with an anomalous state computational breaking point. Beginning 2015, there are supercomputers which could perform up-to quadrillions of drifting point operations consistently.
Applications:-
⦁ In petroleum industry - to analyze volumes ofseismic data which are gathered during oil seeking explorations to identify areas where there is possibility of getting petroleum products inside the earth.
⦁ In Aerospace industry - to simulate airflow around an aircraft at different speeds and altitude. This helps in producing an effective aerodynamic design for superior performance.
⦁ In Automobile industry – to do crash simulation of the design of an automobile before it is released for manufacturing – for better automobile design.
⦁ In structural mechanics – to solve complex structural engineering problems to ensure safety, reliability and cost effectiveness. Eg. Designer ofa large bridge has to ensure that the bridge must be proper in various atmospheric conditions and pressures from wind, velocity etc and under load conditions.
⦁ Meteorological centers use super computers for weather forecasting.
⦁ In Biomedical research – atomic nuclear and plasma analysis – to study the structure of viruses such as that causing AIDS .
⦁ For weapons research and development, sending rockets to space etc .

Supercomputers were displayed in the 1960s, made at first and foremost, and for an impressive time span primarily, by Seymour Cray at Control Data Corporation (CDC), Cray Research and resulting associations bearing his name or monogram. While the supercomputers of the 1970s used only two or three processors, in the 1990s machines with an immense number of processors began to show up and, before the end of the 20th century, immensely parallel supercomputers with innumerable "off-the-rack" processors were the norm.As of November 2014, China's Tianhe-2 supercomputer is the speediest on the planet at 33.86 petaFLOPS (PFLOPS), or 33.86 quadrillion floating point operations consistently.
E.g.:- CRAY Research :- CRAY-1 & CRAY-2, Fujitsu (VP2000), Hitachi (S820), NEC (SX20), PARAM 10000 by C-DAC, Anupam by BARC, PACE Series by DRDO .
