Which performance metrics are typically used to measure the processing speed of a modern Supercomputer?
A. FLOPS
B. MHz
C. MIPS
D. Baud
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Supercomputer performance is measured in FLOPS (Floating-Point Operations Per Second), while general processors often use MIPS (Millions of Instructions Per Second).
Explanation:
Versatility refers to a computer's ability to switch from one completely different task (like playing audio) to another (like financial drafting) seamlessly.
Which early mechanical computing device was invented by Blaise Pascal in 1642 and used a system of interlocking gears and wheels to perform addition and subtraction?
