      I don’t really work with supercomputers. I do have a MacBook Pro that I use that has a 2 GHz Intel Core i7, 500GB hard drive and 8 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 memory.

      Thanks for the questions !
      One of the super computers has 1TB of RAM !!
      I also work with computers with 64GB of RAM, which have the Intel Xeon E5-1650 CPU, and about 50TB of hard drive space.

      I work with lots of super computers though: if you’d like a more detailed list you can email me at nike.dattani@facebook.com

      I also work with GRAPHICAL PROCESSING UNITS, also known as GPUs , which are different from CPUs (Central Processing Units), which most normal computers have =)
