Seymour Cray at Control Data Corporation introduced this technology, and it was in the market by the 1970s. Supercomputers are computers with huge processing capacity that perform complex amounts of mathematical calculations in a very short time. They are expensive and are used for specialised applications. Some of the spheres in which supercomputers find use are weather forecasting, graphics, animation, electronic design, fluid dynamic calculation, nuclear energy research, petroleum exploration, structural analysis, meteorology and weapon simulation. Supercomputers have traditionally run Unix variants and FORTRAN, the mainstay language of scientific and technical programming.
