The big issue with this type of computing was that it had a very wide register size. Personal computers calculate very small bits of information very quick. These larger computer compute very large chunks quick .. at the time.They also had applications OS's that were honed to exploit this fact. While PCs are built for fast and interactive, supercomputers are made for large streaming calculations. While doing 128bit math would be many multiple operations on a 8bit computer, these computers were doing all that inline.its very expensive to get your entire hardware and software architecture at the same bit size, but when you do you cut the number of operations down like crazy.Remember if your computer runs twice as fast, but still has to go through a conversion bottleneck, or many of them, those are wasted computations or actually layers of them.
