+# K1 Supercomputers
-# Background
-# Aim
+Supercomputers are computers that led the world in terms of processing capacity, and particularly in the speed of calculations.
-# Outcomes
-  * various system-, hardware-, and I/O-architectures used for supercomputers, i.e. computers that led the world in terms of processing capacity, and particularly in speed of calculations, at the time of their introduction, or share key architectural aspects with these computers
+## Learning Outcomes
-  * typical operation of data and computing centers
-  * differentiation between supercomputers, high-performance computers, clusters, research computing.
+* Discuss various system-, hardware-, and I/O-architectures used for supercomputers, i.e. computers that led the world in terms of processing capacity, and particularly in the speed of calculations, at the time of their introduction, or share key architectural aspects with these computers
-  * different metrics to calculate supercomputing performance (e.g., Linpack, HPCChallenge, GreenHPC etc)
+* Discuss different hardware architectures.
+* Experiment with IO operations on different storage media and also on parallel file systems.
+* Outline typical operation of data and computing centers.
