A supercomputer is a computer that performs at or near the currently highest operational rate for computers. A supercomputer is typically used for scientific and engineering applications that must handle very large databases or do a great amount of computation (or both).
The main purpose of a CPU is to execute instructions. We've already seen some simple examples of instructions, i.e., add and addi. The CPU executes the binary representation of the instructions, i.e., machine code.Since programs can be very large, and since CPUs have limited memory, programs are stored in memory (RAM).o fetch an instruction involves the following steps: 1  CPU must place an address to the MAR. 2  CPU must activate the tri-state buffer so MAR contents are placed on the address bus. 3  CPU sends R/\W = 1 and CE = 1 to memory, to indicate it wants to do a read. 4  Memory eventually puts instruction on the data bus.
