are very expensive computer systems designed to perform a limited
number of tasks as quickly as possible. They perform complex mathematical
calculations, such as those used in weather forecasting and medical
research. Visit the website of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, lanl.gov,
for more photos such as this one (Figure 1.16). A supercomputer can consist
of a single computer with multiple processors or can be a group of
computers that work together.
