1. produce maximum results; make optimal; improve efficiency; become optimal; act as an optimist, act in an optimistic manner; (Computers) carry out optimization (also optimise).2. act as an optimist and take a sunny view of the world modify to achieve maximum efficiency in storage capacity or time or cost; "optimize a computer program" make optimal; get the most out of; use best; "optimize your resources".3. op·ti·mize optimizes optimizing optimized in BRIT, also use optimis.4. To optimize a plan, system, or machine means to arrange or design it so that it operates as smoothly and efficiently as possible. The new systems have been optimised for running Microsoft Windows.5. To optimize a situation or opportunity means to get as much advantage or benefit from it as you can.

Supercomputers

A supercomputer is mainframe computer that has been optimized for speed and processing power. The most famous series of supercomputers were designed by the company founded and named after Seymour Cray. The Cray-1 was built in the 1976 and installed at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Supercomputers are used for extremely calculation-intensive tasks such as simulating nuclear bomb detonations, aerodynamic flows, and global weather patterns. A supercomputer typically costs several million dollars.

The Components of Computers

A computer is an electronic device that executes the instructions in a program.
A computer has four functions:

a. Accepts data ==> Input
b. Processes data ==> Processing
c. Produces output ==> Output
d. Stores results ==> Storage

To function, a computer system requires four main aspects of data handling: input, procesing, output, and storage. The hardware responsible for these four areas is as follows:

1- Input devices accept data or commands in a form that the computer can use; they send the data or commands to the procesing unit.

2- The processor, more formally known as the central processing unit (CPU), has electronic circuitry that manipulates input data into the information people want. The central processing unit actually executes computer instructions.

3- Output devices show people the processed data (information) in understandable and usable form.

4- Storage usually means secondary storage, which consists of secondary storage devices such as disk – hard disk or diskettes or some other kind of disk – that can store data and programs outside the computer itself. These devices supplement memory or primary storage, which can hold data and programs only temporarily.
