These computers are of significant size and cost millions of dollars.
1.2 $
I think this is so much for a supercomputer price.
Typically, 2-5 million dollars.
aproximate 10000
Cost of param 10000 approx. 3.74 crore to 8 crore.
There is no such thing as a business supercomputer. Supercomputers were designed for solving scientific, engineering, and code breaking problems that required very involved and repetitive calculations and little input/output. Business computers were designed to do simple calculations that required more input/output than calculations.
k Supercomputer
A supercomputer generates a lot of heat, so it needs air conditioning to compensate, otherwise it would overheat the room and burn itself up.
The first Cray supercomputer (Cray 1) was installed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, CA in 1976. Components were built in Chippewa Falls, WI and moved to California for final assembly.
3.5 millon dollars
Between 2,000,000 to 2,500,000 million dollars in the US
Cost of param 10000 approx. 3.74 crore to 8 crore.
I would say a Cray Supercomputer but they cost millions of dollars
A supercomputer using gallium arsenide instead of silicon for its semiconductor components. Gallium arsenide is much faster than silicon so it helps significantly in getting the performance needed by a supercomputer, but it is much harder to fabricate resulting in an increase in price.

i think latest supercomputer is "road runner".
The cost of the current fastest supercomputer (IBM's Roadrunner) was around $133 million. However, with the current state of technology, new cheap supercomputers are starting to be mass produced. For example, NVIDIA's soon-to-be-released Tesla supercomputer will only cost around $10,000, which is comparable to many high-end gaming PCs on the market already.
The MacBook is a great computer but it would not be officially classed as a SuperComputer.
San Diego Supercomputer Center was created in 1985.
Given similar technology the supercomputer is faster, by definition.
Supercomputer is measured in "FLOPS" (FLoating Point Operations Per Second)
