Technology information blog Ubergizmo reported on November 18, the world's top 500 supercomputer list released, China "Tianhe II" won the fastest calculation speed of four consecutive championships.
The list of the world's top 500 supercomputers updated every two years, once the ranking is very exciting. However, "Tianhe No.2" supercomputer developed by China University of Defense Technology has topped the list for four years in a row, competition in the rankings list has stabilized and ranking of the list has become more predictable.
Data map
Linpack test benchmarks show that Tianhe II can reach 33.86 petaflops floating point operations per second. The US Department of Energy Oak Ridge National Laboratory "Titan" at 17.59 petaflops floating point speed ranked second. The third to the fifth were "Sequoia" at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the United States, "Jing" at Japan Institute of Physical and Chemical Research and "Mira" supercomputer at Argonne National Laboratory in the United States.
Of course, the gap between the performance of other computers and Tianhe II is getting smaller and smaller, and the competition is fierce. This will make the battle for future rankings even more spectacular. Although the current supercomputer community seems to have fallen into a rigid path , Can not bring any surprises to the public.
The supercomputer landscape seems to be changing. A national laboratory at the University of Tennessee is expected to introduce the world's fastest supercomputer by 2017, and the rankings will change. Let's wait and see. (Internship compiler: Hao Xiaoqian)
