Topic Reading-Vol.435-6/20/2013

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
China's Tianhe-2 retakes fastest supercomputer crown.
Tianhe-2, meaning Milky Way-2, is the top of the latest list of the world fastest 500 supercomputers. It runs at 33.86 petaflop/sec, the equivalent of 33,860 trillion calculations per second, which is twice as fast as the second on the list. On the list, the US has 252 systems, China does 66, Japan 30, the UK 29, France 23 and Germany 19. This looks like reflecting the size of the economy, doesn’t it?
Enjoy reading and learning about how fast those supercomputers are.
