Supercomputers: Evolving Capabilities Through Technology!
Author: Sherazur Rahman Research into computers began extensively in the early 20th century, but the first practical programmable computer was not developed until during World War II. In the United States, the ENIAC (which stands for Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was built, mainly for military use. The work on the ENIAC started in 1943, was finished in 1945, and was then officially launched in 1946. From ENIAC to CDC‑6600: The Dawn of Supercomputers The United States then, drawing on that experience, brought out the world's first successful commercial supercomputer in 1964; the CDC−6600, which was designed by the well-known computer scientist Seymour Cray for the Control Data Corporation, represented a revolutionary milestone in the history of computing. The CDC-6600 had about 400,000 transistors and almost 100 miles of wiring; it weighed approximately 6 tons, needed 30 kilowatts of power, and was equipped with a 60-bit processor operating at 10 MHz. Its maximum mem...
