Topic Reading-Vol.1536-6/25/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
China builds world's most powerful computer
Another top of the list by China. This time it’s probably much more significant than others such as the number of smartphones or cars sold, the length of high-speed railways or the amount of online sales a day. It is in computer science and technology.
According to the Top500 list, a new supercomputer developed in China performs more calculations per second than any other computer in the world, faster than the previous leader also produced in China.
Supercomputers can be used for weather forecast, aero or space dynamics design, biological analysis, chemical compounds simulations or any other field that requires super high-speed computer simulations.
China has now 167 computers on the list, surpassing the US’s 165. What’s more surprising is that the Chinese supercomputer uses domestically developed chips. In other word, it’s a pure Chinese blood supercomputer.
Enjoy reading and thinking how advanced China’s computer technology and industry will be like in the next decade.
