A supercomputer is a mainframe computer that is among the largest, fastest, or most powerful of those available at a given time. Cray built those. Here at SI supercomputer is a mis spelled word. I consider mainframe a misnomer for clusters of thousands of processors. So I like term Super Computers... Sorry if it confuses you. High Performance Computer may be a more accepted jargon. But I attempt to inform with the concept.
