Supercomputers were introduced in the 1960's as the world's most advanced computer. These computers were used for complex calculations such as forecasting weather and quantum physics. Today, supercomputers are one of a kind; they are fast and very advanced. The term supercomputer is always evolving as tomorrow's normal computers are today's supercomputer. As of May 2011, Tianhe-1A is ranked on the TOP500 list as the fastest supercomputer at 2.6 petaFLOPS.
