Question

Super computers are primarily useful for.

• A. Input-output intensive processing
• B. Data-retrieval operations
• C. Mathematical-intensive scientific applications
• D. All of the above
• E. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Mathematical-intensive scientific applications

Super computers are primarily useful for Mathematical-intensive scientific applications.

Supercomputers play an important role in the field of computational science, and are used for a wide range of computationally intensive tasks in various fields, including quantum mechanics, weather forecasting, climate research, oil and gas exploration, molecular modelling.

Supercomputers are the bodybuilders of the computer world. They boast tens of thousands of times the computing power of a desktop and cost tens of millions of dollars. They fill enormous rooms, which are chilled to prevent their thousands of microprocessor cores from overheating.
