Supercomputers are very expensive and are employed for specialized applications that require immense amounts of mathematical calculations. For example, weather forecasting requires a supercomputer. Other uses of supercomputers include animated graphics, fluid dynamic calculations, nuclear energy research, and petroleum exploration. The chief difference between a supercomputer and a mainframe is that a supercomputer channels all its power into executing a few programs as fast as possible, whereas a mainframe uses its power to execute many programs concurrently.

Officials used video surveillance to scan images of fans as they passed through turnstiles to watch the Super Bowl last weekend.

Thousands of football fans were subjected to a "computerized police lineup" at America's biggest sporting event last weekend, as police used cutting-edge technology to scan the crowd for pickpockets and terrorists.

Like surveillance cameras in convenience stores, at cash-dispensing machines, ATMs, or on street corners, the cameras installed for the Super Bowl game between the Baltimore Ravens and the New York Giants captured images of people in a public place.

But unlike most video surveillance systems, which store the images on tape, the cameras were connected by cable to computers that scanned the images, instantly dissecting facial features and comparing them to a digital database of known criminals and terrorists.

Signs outside the stadium warned fans that they were under video surveillance, police said.

The video system, which uses biometric technology to compare facial features such as the size of a nose, the set of a brow, or the cut of a jaw, was offered to the Tampa Police Department by Graphco Technologies, a Pennsylvania-based database and "knowledge management" firm.

The test project compared images from the video cameras to a relatively small database of about 1,700 faces -- including crooks ranging from pickpockets to domestic terrorists -- assembled from FBI and police files.

Future uses would hopefully include larger databases of tens of thousands of criminals.
