The construction of supercomputers

Modern supercomputers get its performance through a combination of many thousands of processors and zrównoleglaniu of the calculation. For economic reasons, used processors available in mass production because the costs of the design and manufacture of new types of processors are significantly higher than the cost of production supercomputers. To enable efficient use of computing power of these processors, uses a specially designed memory hierarchy and the most efficient available connection to transfer data between them. Because of this architecture, however, supercomputers can achieve high performance only to the calculations, which can be highly parallelizable.
