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.
