A supercomputer is an extremely powerful computer used for scientific and engineering work requiring high-speed computations, such as climate modeling, nuclear simulations, and cryptology. Supercomputers have multiple central processing units (CPUs), large storage capacity, and fast input/output capability. They also use vector arithmetic to operate on lists of numbers. They often use advanced cooling techniques and have high computational speeds.
