Why not just desgin a realy powerfull processor in super computers?

why use so many Not-so-powerful working in parallel in super computers?



Why not just desgin a realy powerfull processor in super computers?pc security



Cheaper, plus, if the problem can be reduced into several different problems of smaller size and if it is trivial to reconstruct the result of solving the small problems, then it's around par / better than 1 powerful processor. Plus, multiple computers means that you are actually doing different stuff simultaneously, not doing context switching



Why not just desgin a realy powerfull processor in super computers?symantic



multiple processors can be many times more powerful than a single processor



best example the Cray using 8 bit 6502 procs
