In October 2010, an upgraded version of the machine (Tianhe-1A) overtook ORNL's Jaguar to become the world's fastest supercomputer, with a peak computing rate of 2.57 petaFLOPS. [6] [7] In June 2011 the Tianhe-1A was overtaken by the K computer as the world's fastest supercomputer, which was also subsequently superseded. [8]
Tianhe-2's performance returned the title of the world's fastest supercomputer to China after Tianhe-I's début in November 2010. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers said Tianhe-2's win "symbolizes China's unflinching commitment to the supercomputing arms race". [5]
K computer: 10.51 PFLOPS* [33] 2012 United States: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory: IBM: Sequoia (Blue Gene/Q) 16.32 PFLOPS* [34] Oak Ridge National Laboratory: Cray: Titan: 17.59 PFLOPS* [35] 2013 China: National Supercomputing Center of Guangzhou: National University of Defense Technology: Tianhe-2: 33.86 PFLOPS* [36] 2016 National ...
In November 2014, it was announced that the United States was developing two new supercomputers to exceed China's Tianhe-2 in its place as world's fastest supercomputer. The two computers, Sierra and Summit, will each exceed Tianhe-2's 55 peak petaflops.
The U.S. supercomputer Frontier was crowned the world’s speediest this year, but some computer scientists say China‘s Tianhe-3 may be as fast. WSJ unpacks the tech and design of the machines ...
The National Supercomputing Center of Tianjin (Chinese: 国家超级计算天津中心; pinyin: guójiā chāojí jìsuàn zhōngxīn) is a supercomputing facility located at the National Defense Science and Technology University in Tianjin, China. One of the fastest supercomputers in the world (see "The TOP500 Project" list of supercomputers ...
China has started to roll out what it’s calling the world’s most advanced internet network, which promises to operate several times faster than current networks.
China would go on to fall behind Japan in June 2011 until June 2013 when the country's most powerful supercomputer once again clocked in as the world record. [ 9 ] Prior to the Sunway TaihuLight , Chinese supercomputers have used "off the shelf" processors, e.g. Tianhe-I uses thousands of Intel and Nvidia chips, and uses the Linux operating ...
