Welcome to Personal Supercomputers. The term supercomputer itself is rather fluid, and today’s supercomputer tends to become tomorrow’s ordinary computer.
Modern video game consoles in particular use SIMD extensively and this is the basis for some manufacturers’ claim that their game machines are themselves supercomputers. Indeed, some graphics cards have the computing power of several TeraFLOPS. The applications to which this power can be applied was limited by the special-purpose nature of early video processing.
One thing we can be sure of – every 18 months we can expect twice as much computing power for half the price – for this is the tracking of computer power increases over the last 3 to 4 decades. Thank you for visiting Personal Supercomputers. 
Personal Supercomputers brings to you – supercomputer articles, supercomputer videos, and everyday conversation about personal computers – all in a very accessible website.
NOTE: - if you ever need web hosting, please consider Web Hosting Pad (click below). With the current price under $4 per month – it is one of the best hosting deals available – in our honest opinion…
