SUPER COMPUTER. Supercomputer are the most powerful and the expensive computer available. Supercomputers are primarily used for complex scientific application . A supercomputer is a computer that can process billions and trillions of calculations per second . EXAMPLE: FRONTIER (USA) , FUGAKU (JAPAN) , PARAM SIDDHI-AI (INDIA) , CRAY SUPERCOMPUTERS..
(3) : HARDWARE. The electronic device is known as hardware. Computer Hardware is the physical part of the computer system , the machinery and equipment. Computer Hardware is the collection of all tangible (physical) devices that makes up a computer system. EXAMPLE: INPUT DEVICES: Keyboard, mouse, scanner. OUTPUT DEVICES: Monitor, printer, speakers. PROCESSING DEVICES: CPU STORAGE DEVICES: Hard disk, pen derive, Ram..
(4) : SOFTWARE. Software is a collection of programs, procedures, and instructions that tells a computers how to performs specific tasks.
