Part 2/10:
The distinction between a standard computer and a supercomputer isn't the size alone but rather the networking capabilities that pull power from thousands of machines together. Professor Mike Pappa explains this concept by likening a computer to a concert, where a single instrument can produce notes, but an entire orchestra creates a symphony. In a similar fashion, while a standard laptop can perform mathematical computations, a supercomputer's ability to network thousands of processors creates a powerful computational force.
