10 Fastest Supercomputers In The World

Supercomputer means it performs at highest operational rate for computers. It is so expensive & operates at very fast speed. Supercomputer is actually multiple computers that perform parallel processing. There are two types of parallel processing 1^st is SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) & 2^nd is MPP (Massively parallel processing). It is used for specialized applications that requires large amount of mathematical computations & databases. For example, weather forecasting, scientific & engineering.
