The phrase "a large scale computer" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a computer system that is designed to handle a significant amount of data or perform extensive computations, often in a business or research context.
Example: "The research facility invested in a large scale computer to process the vast amounts of data generated by their experiments."
Alternatives: "a high-capacity computer" or "a massive computer system."
At least on a large scale, computers, and the information giants who own and lease the data, may be able to comprehend language better than we comprehend it ourselves.
In fact, a member of the software-making team, or a larger scale computer system, is "behind the curtain" interpreting the participant's input directives and feeding back a designed system response.
