超级计算机和大型计算机的区别

先决条件 – 计算机的世代
超级计算机：
超级计算机是世界上体积最大、成本最高的计算机。 Seymour Cray 发明了超级计算机。超级计算机用于大型和复杂的数学计算。超级计算机的速度超过大型计算机，因此它们可以在一秒钟内执行数十亿条指令或浮点指令。

大型计算机：
与超级计算机相比，大型计算机成本更低、体积更小、速度更慢。用作大型数据库的存储并同时用作最大数量的用户。第一台成功的大型计算机是由 IBM 发明的。大型机的速度比超级计算机要慢。在这种情况下，数百万条指令同时执行。

让我们看看超级计算机和大型计算机的区别：

S.NO	Supercomputer	Mainframe Computer
1.	Supercomputers are used for large and complex mathematical computations.	While Mainframe computers are used as a storage for large database and serve as a maximum number of users simultaneously.
2.	Supercomputer’s speed is more than Mainframe computer. It can execute billions of instructions within a second.	Mainframe computer’s speed is comparatively less than Supercomputers. In this millions of instructions are executed simultaneously.
3.	Supercomputers are the largest computers.	Mainframe computers are smaller than supercomputers in size.
4.	Supercomputers are the most costly in the world.	Mainframe computers are less costly than supercomputers.
5.	In the present, the supercomputers have Linux and their variant operating systems.	While Mainframe computers can have multiple operating systems simultaneously.
6.	Super computers are mostly purpose-built for one or a few specific institutional tasks.	Mainframe computers are built to handle a large variety of tasks.
7.	Seymour Cray invents the Supercomputer.	The first successful mainframe computer is invented by IBM.
8.	Supercomputers can have a processing speed in the range of 100 to 900 MIPS.	Whereas Mainframe computers can have a processing speed in the range of 3-4 MIPS to as high as 100 MIPS.
